How can I use a US or British cell phone in Japan? -

Any ideas? Any problems that anyone knows of or has encountered? If possible I d like to use the Docomo network in Japan. Thanks.

Contact your phone company to activate your phone for global use.

You can t use japanese phones in other countries coz the bands are different. but if you could call you service provider you can get it activated for global use.

well it depends if your phone / carrier is a GSM or CDMA net work. If its GSM you need a unlocked tri or quad band phone, all you got to do is insert your existing sim card. you can find unlocked phones on ebay or at www.myworldphone.com
