Will my Galaxy Note 2 work in Japan?

[buttsbuttsbutts]

Does the T-Mobile Note 2 hardware support any carriers in Japan?

I'd like to purchase a prepaid SIM and use my device during my trip.

Yes, as long as the device is unlocked..

Yes it will work on both Softbank and DoCoMo. Your best bet would be Softbank as they are much cheaper then DoCoMo, atleast from my experience living there 1.5 years ago

Softbank and DoCoMo both are GSM

Both also use 2100 mhz for 3G and as most phones support all 2G frequencies SO it will work for calls also.

I can't use Softbank 3g, can you help me?

I bought an unlocked Galaxy Note 2 in USA, and now I bought another phone (Aquos-Sharp) here in Japan (from Softbank) just to use the SIM Card. The phone calls and sms are working ok, but I can't use the 3G. The data process isn't working. Somebody can help me please?!

Try changing the apn first.

APN settings

I tried using the opensoftbank APN settings, but I still don't have access to the Internet on the Note 2. I am using the micro SIM from the Softbank Motorola Razr M. Any ideas?

My understanding is that getting cell service can be difficult for foreigners in Japan. The cell companies don't make it easy from what I understand. Do your research before you go.

As the others say Softbank is your best place to start looking.
