Can I use Droid X in Japan/Taiwan?

I am travelling to Japan and Taiwan for a business trip in a week and will be there for two weeks.  I had used the Verizon Global website to do the "Trip Planner" and entered all of the applicalbe info for my trip and my Droid X phone.  The planner then indicates my phone will not work while there and I should consider securing a "global phone".    I had understood as well that the Droid X can't be used internationally.  I called the Verizon global service center to find out information on possibly using the "loaner" program and the individual I talked to said my phone would work in Japan and Taiwan as long as I activated the "roaming" function and also purchase a International Data Plan.   this was a surprise to me and I asked several time if she was sure it would work and she said yes.  I want to confirm as I don't want to arrive and not have the ability to use the phone.

I have a Droid X as Well and i would have to say with out it having a Sim card as for the Data part of it i would say No) Maybe Wi-Fi  But Wildman has a Droid X and he might Know if it can be used there as for the Voice Part of it.
Wildman can you Chime in on this as i'm Not for Sure Thanks b33

  • HT1807 Can I use a sim card from Taiwan when I go there in a month on the new iPhone 5

    I am just wondering if I buy the new iPhone 5 on pay as you go. Can I use a sim card from a different country. I am off to Taiwan for 6 months in a month and would like to take the iPhone with me

    If your phone is officially unlocked, & either of the three authorized carriers, in Taiwan, have nano sims available, yes. Otherwise you'll have to get International Provisioning activated for your account & use the phone while roaming...very expensive.

  • How can I use New iPad in Japan?

    I just bought the new iPad and was planning to use it to access the internet on my upcoming trip to Japan. When I purchased the device last week, the Mac Genius assured me that all I needed to do was buy a SIM card once I got there. Unfortunately, as I'm doing research, I'm finding out that it isn't possible to buy a SIM card withouth being a resident there. Any advice regarding this issue would be greatly appareciated.

    I can't help with the sim card issue, but you will still have Internet access in any area where WiFi is available so in the worst case scenario, look for WiFi hotspots in Japan.

  • Can I use iPhone4S lined from japan to Philippines?

    Hello APPLE and users...
    my auntie bought me an iPhone4S from Japan, and i'm about to get it within 2 weeks or 3 weeks. She said it's lined there, but maybe can unlock here in the philippines... Is it possible to use it here? or apple can help me unlock it here?? please help..
    thanks

    Your Aunt wasted her money. All iPhones, from official sources in Japan, are sold as carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked to use on any other carrier's network. If still within the 30 day return window, return it for a refund.
    Doesn't matter how many times you post, the answer remains the same, you may not like the answer, but it is what it is:

    The only way to use an iPhone from Japan in India is to pay your Japanese carrier for international roaming. Japanese iPhones can not be unlocked.

  • What can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for VZW on Sept 8?

    what can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for Verizon on September 8?
    I guess it can run fine on Wi-Fi and become a media player.... or is there a market for 1-month-old Droid Charge phones?
    How much trade-in value can I get from VZW or BestBuy or Amazon?
    Thanks!

  • Can I use my iPhone 3Gs in Japan with a Japanese Sim-Card?

    Hi there,
    three years ago I've been to Japan for an exchange study program and at that time I had a HTC but as far as I remember, since Japanese people didn't have Sim-Cards, I had to buy a brand-new Softbank's mobile phone.
    So since I got another scholarship for Kyoto, I was wondering if something has been changing in these last three year and if I could eventually use my Italian iPhone 3Gs by inserting a Softbank o AU or Docomo's Sim-Card.
    Thank you in advance for your precious help and sorry for my poor English

    Hello
    You can only use your 3Gs in another country if it is NOT locked to an Italian carrier Or
    you can get it unlocked if it is so restricted
    I assume someone with knowledge of the Japanese market can comment on the availability of a suitable sim but your iPhone must be unlocked before you can use another carrier's sim

  • TS4148 I have an apple 4 given to me by my cousin from japan but the phone is lock by japan sotfbank, how can i use this phone here in the Philippines network provider? thanks

    I have an apple 4 given to me by my cousin from japan but the phone is lock by japan sotfbank, how can i use this phone here in the Philippines network provider? thanks

    Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone. It is my understanding that Softbank in Japan does not unlock iPhones.

  • I want to buy an iphone 5 from an Apple store in Japan. Can I use my Australian SIM?

    My understanding is I am able to buy SIM free iphones from Apple stores here in Japan. I am currently living here and have my Australian iphone 4s with all of my contacts and apps connected through this number. Besides the fact I know I need a nano sim from Australia, can I use a iphone I bought here in Japan with my Australian SIM? Thank you in advance for your answers

    Not sure that you can - I think that all Japanese phones are carrier locked and people who have purchased iPhones in Japan and who have posted here have been disappointed when they have discovered that their phones are locked and that the Japanese carriers will not unlock phones.
    Also, very good luck if you can buy an iPhone 5, because the iPhone 5 was discontinued from the range when both the 5s and 5c were released last year making your only options for purchase either an iPhone 4s, 5s or 5c.  Might be different in Japan though, but yes, if you can buy a truly unlocked iPhone from Apple in Japan, then you can use any sim card in it, but you need to remember that even with a sim card you might not be able to get all the services with an Australian sim card - perhaps not 4G due to frequency differences etc and also warranty cover on a Japanese phone when you return to Australia - if you buy in Japan then warranty is for Japan only and NOT Australia.

  • Can I use the IPhone 6 plus in Canada if I bought it in Japan

    I am living in Japan for 4months.  I want to buy the IPhone 6 plus. But can I use it in Canada when I go back

    Hello!
    So I have a question for you guys which must have been posted a thousand times but I never get that specification that I'm looking for.
    I will be traveling to Japan and China and was wondering if I buy an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus there Sim Free and bring it back to Spain and put my spanish SIM card in it, will it work?
    I Understand that they don't sell unlocked iPhone!
    The real question is if I put my spanish SIM card will it be locked with my spanish carrier?

  • Can i use iphone in japan

    can i use my iphone in japan

    Can you please specify whether you are planning to use their sim card, or international roaming?
    Only Factory unlocked iphones will work with the sim card in Japan. All you need to do is put the sim card in and it should connect.
    If you have a carrier locked iphone, then it is not unlocked and is locked to a carrier. If you try to put their sim card (I believe Softbank?) it will not work. You can only use it as international roaming, which can be quite costly.

  • Can i use my 3G iphone in japan?

    i am in tokyo now and i am triing to use my 3G iphone, i was told by a AT&T rep. that i would have no trouble using my phone in japan. Well i am here now and my phone does NOT work. i have been to japan before and i know that japan runs on 2100khz , i do not think the iphone is capable of doing that but it does have 3G so i am unsure. Again i believed the AT&T rep. (dumb) and tried anyway, so now i m here and it doesn't work.
    CAN ANY ONE HELP ?

    thanx for the help....of course it was AT&T (the worlds worst cell coverage/company), some how they forgot to turn on my roaming. and it cost me about $40 in hold time to get it on, the reason why i called before i left. so the phone works fine, everything works.
    so my advice is insist tat they tll you repeatedly that your roaming is on, not that it works, because to AT&T "it works" doesn't really mean it works, but it means " it can work if you wait on hold for 45 min after you have already got where you are going"
    thanx agian
