Fujitsu Toshiba IS12T

[brummiesteven]

Hey,

Does anyone know if there are any plans to bring this device to Europe or if I can import it from Japan or something?

I love the look of it, but I really want a phone with at least 32gb storage which isn't looking likely atm... If none of the nokia phones have 32gb+ I really want to try and get one of these Fujitsu phones.

 

[domineus]

been very interested in the is12t as well for availability. but its been dead silent

Its unlikely as it was provisioned by the carrier in Japan KDDI or something like that. Also it is CDMA and the tech used in Japan will only work in Japan on the cdma network there.
It is possible another, similar device for GSM could be released after some prior of time.

The device is both CDMA and GSM capable.

Well, just call those shops which import Japanese games and comics and they should do the job for you.

Here is the link in Yahoo Japan, which sells IS12T standalone machines without contract and SIM lock.

I may consider to get one, as NAND built-in should be much faster than MicroSD in my Trophy, esp. 32GB ones.

it's better than this device's running GSM Networktechnology

That link was great but I can't read Japanese and none of them seem to be shipping internationally (according to G Translate anyway).

Unfortunately I cant find any on ebay.

So I said, tell the shops you want that and ask them to bid for you.

ebay......not a well known place for Japanese.

Hello everyone
I bought an Toshiba IS12T phone of of amazon.jp using a forwarding service.
It really is a nice phone and works smooth.
Only problem is it is telling me invalid sim and I need to use a uim.
I am living in Germany, maybe you can help me get the phone to work ;-)

It definitely supports GSM, so should work in Europe.

Sounds like it could be SIM-locked to a Japanese carrier. Are you sure you bough an unlocked one?

 

[Gold G Roger]

Yeah it supports GSM.
I found out that all the KDDI phones are locked.
Now trying to unlock it, but don't know how. . hm

I you wish I can post some pics or a small vid if you like

Well, are you really know what those Japanese means before you buy?
白ロム(White ROM) = empty ROM
ロッククリア済(Lock clear finished) = unlocked

Many of them just said empty ROM but without stating unlocked, which are possibly be locked ones.

In google by typing "IS12T unlock" there should have website suggestions which are selling unlock services.

BTW, how much in total have you got? I may also would like to have one if it is not too costly.

 

[Gold G Roger]

I think I payed like less than 400 euro to get it.
KDDI says there are no unlocked devices and they can't be unlocked!!!

Hm now to work on this otherwise I have to sell it again XD

They said, but there are somebody who has full paid the machine should have got the unlocked ones. (Unlocked by default/standalone, locked when got bundled plan)

According to this site:
http://nanapho.jp/archives/tag/IS12T/page/2/
You may check if it is really unlocked.
Step:
1) Choose "Wi-Fi" in "Settings"
2) Press the "PRL Setting" button for 10 secs or more
3) Press "*6#27" when the numeric keypad comes out
4) The page will be jumped to "Information"
If the column "Line Registered" is 0, then it is unlocked, otherwise (1) it is locked.

 

[Gold G Roger]

Thank you for the information.
I checked it and it says "0" so it is unlocked!
Maybe my sim cards are not working properly I had some issues earlier.

I tried different things and nothing seems to work :-(

If someone is interested I am going to sell it for 380 euro just pn me
It is the best phone I ever held in my hand!!!
