Why not?
All 3G phones work in Japan as long as you are using 3G service.
At least Softbank and Docomo.

works fine in JAPAN

Thank you very much for the info !!!

hi Kitano,
are you using a local Japanese SIM card?
If so, which Phone Company? Softbank? Docomo? Does SMS, email etc all work fine? data browsing? Google maps?
Howie,
did you roam? or did you use a local SIM?
Thanks
Scott in tokyo (In Hong Kong in 2 weeks, and will be shopping for an unlocked phone there to bring back to Japan)

all HTC phones are not locked in HKG
As long as it is 3G card, then it should work.

Thanks for confirming what I had heard! Definately want to get my phone while I'm in HK.
What I'm concerned about is that they might do things differently in Japan (so you HAVE to buy a Japanese phone), so wondering if all features work, in particular SMS / mail etc... Has anyone actually brought a phone to Japan? How did it go?

Touch HD will work with Softbank and Docomo SIM, however, both work little differently.
With Softbank SIM, SMS works, no MMS. email...depends on the definition but PC based email, such as yahoo mail, gmail is OK. however, Softbank mail (email on mobile phone, very similar to MMS) can not be configured as MMS.
There are way of configureing this by some utility software build by user group, but basicaly information such as server names, access point, ID&password is not officialy disclosed from Softbank.
Internet access is OK, but access to Internet by default configuration (which is automaticaly configured when Softbank SIM is detected by HD) will use access point which is not fixed cost service. Which means you may end up paying a lot of bill.
With Docomo SIM, SMS is OK, No MMS. email such as yahoo mail, Gmail is OK.
iMode mail(email service from Docomo, similar to MMS) can not be configured. Docomo does not allow access to iMode mail server from non-Docomo devices.
Internet access is OK. I haven't confirmed on access point, but possibly similar to Softbank SIM.
(I only had chance to test for little while on Docomo, so not able to clarify)
I hope this information helps

Thanks Hiroakir
That's exactly what I wanted to know. Actually, it's more than I thought to ask! I didn't think about Softbank's unlimited data plan not applying. I'm a heavy data user (work exchange server mail)... so... I might buy in Japan.
Thanks again!
Scott

Inquiry about the Touch HD Radio version.

1.14 is not stable, it kept drop off.

HELP: vodafone internetflat in germany

I currently am using a Vodafone prepaid card in Germany and I just added the live! InternetFlat package (http://www.vodafone.de/privat/tarife/prepaid-ohne-vertrag.html) however I always get a dialing error when I attempt to set it up. Can someone tell me what the settings are?
I'm not sure if this is the wrong place to post it, but i thought it would be easier to give instructions knowing which phone I am using.

Maybe their service page for connections?
But then again, with a prepaid service, details might differ...

I tried that...and either I'm typing something in the wrong fields or my german is even worse than I thought :S

New Motorola Droid Pro in Portugal :)

Hello guys,
Last week I have purchased on eBay what is for me the most awaited phone of all time . It was pretty expensive and I also had to pay another 120€ to the customs, but I don't regret it...
I am still getting used to the mobile & Android, but I would like to make 2 questions:
1- My 3g isn't working, GSM calls + SMS are working fine, but I cannot access any data, do I have to update any APN details ? (and how).
2- I am only offered two options regarding the phone language, En and Spanish, which is fine, but is there anyway I could add Portuguese as input language?
That's it for now, thanks in advance for any replies.

The thing is that when I browse Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access point names, I don't have any listed and neither I have an option to add a new APN ...

Ok, I have downloaded an APP from the market called APN Portugal that auto configured the APN details of my carrier (Optimus). Now I would like to know if it is possible to add a phone language/new input languages (keyboard) ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How did you unlock it? Has it been activated in the US with a Verizon plan before being shipped to Portugal?
Thanks
Fred

Yes, it was unlocked by the eBay seller using a code provided by Verizon.

@elmemyself: thanks for sharing your experience. Are you able to send/receive MMS in Portugal?

Hello fpont1,
I am able to receive MMS, but not to send them ... I get a msg saying that the service isn't activated with the Network.

Hi man. In the APN screen beside your APN name, is there an icon showing a small lock with a question mark inside?

[SOLUTION][SMSC Setting]SMS Problem-Cannot send SMS

Hi All,
Just wanna share a solution to a problem that had me frustrated for months trying to get sms working properly on my phone, especially after rom flashes.
This solution worked for me but I offer no guarantee to anybody wants to give this a try. Don't worry, it's nothing high level so it won't brick your phone or FC the hell outta ya.
## Edit: I know that most of you can set the SMS message centre number via Messaging app>Settings>SMSC number. For me, I can't do that cos for some reason, the ROM i'm using somehow does not have that setting option in the messaging app, I don't know why cos that's up to the ROM dev. So I used the dialer codes to access that setting instead. Either way works, whichever you feel is more accessible.
*Note: The SMSC number used in my example is for Singapore Singtel users only. For other telcos or even people from other countries, please find out your SMS service number in the list below first before trying out the steps below. The method will work only if you have the correct service number from your telco.
If you have the same problems as me:
Can receive SMSes
Can receive/send MMSes
Can surf Internet/No issues with data/3G working perfectly fine
Simply just CANNOT send /reply any SMSes
...then do the following:
Go to your dialer
Key in *#*#4636#*#*
From the menu, choose Phone Information
Scroll down the page until you see an item called "SMSC:" with a textbox right beside it
Tap on the textbox and key in the numbers: 06915669917777
Tap on the Update button
Exit the page using the back key or home button
Try sending or replying to a SMS. There you have it, it should work.
## I wished to compile a list of SMSC numbers of any telco of any country. Combined with the method above, you get a viable solution to what it seems to be a frustrating problem for some of us here. Feel free to contribute your SMSC info here and I will periodically amend the listing accordingly. If this solution still doesn't work for you then I can only say that I'm sorry, there's only so much one can provide. Hopefully you can find your solution elsewhere in the XDA universe, I'm sure there will be something for you.

Why on earth did you not read further? I mentioned that the solution is for Singapore Singtel users only because the SMSC number that I indicated is from Singtel. I do not know what SMSC number that the other telcos are using SO, I quote myself again:
For other telcos or even people from other countries, please find out your SMS service number first before trying out the steps below.

For the sake of pampered readers like you, I have amended my note in the post so that you don't have to waste kilojoules of energy to read. This solution can be used anywhere in the world. The only differing factor is the SMSC number used by your respective telco. That, is for you to find out. Therefore, I'm not restricting the solution to only Singapore Singtel users.
If anyone of you is kind enough to post your telco's SMSC number here, I will gladly compile a list.

Well yes OP is right but its a standard reply to all with SMS problem check your Message Centre settings posted here since the dawn of SGS2 .
List of numbers sounds good but those with problems wont search and wont read OP took months to find a well posted solution .
I say that as i have just answered exact same SMS question again .

Yes you are probably right. But I do not see any sticky on this issue. And there are plenty of feedback from pple trying to find solutions but only found questions unanswered.
I was just thinking if my OP can be sticky that probably it can help in needless searching.

Stickies would be needed for every single item on SGS2 starting with the On button .

I think its a problem in my sim card from 2 days that i can't send sms, i also tried this a day ago but it just fails to send sms
But the SMSC number i used can also be wrong, so if anyone can tell me the SMSC number of tata docomo-india then i will confirm it if its a sim card problem or SMSC

Hi sahibunlimited, sorry to hear u have this problem too. As I have mentioned in OP, you might want to enquire about the correct SMSC number from your telco first before attempting this fix, in your case calling up tata docomo will be your best bet in getting the accurate info.
Once you get that info, you might also want to post it here so that it might also help others in your region who could encounter the same problem as well. I will gladly add your info to my listing.

Appreciate your suggestion. So, a shoutout to mods out there, if you have read this thread and find it sticky-worthy, please do so. I will do my part in actively maintaining this thread.

any more of you out there willing to contribute your info here?
I will just need your telco name and SMSC number. If you don't know how to get the SMSC number, you can acces it via Messaging app>Settings>SMSC.
OR alternatively, you can go to your dialer and key in *#*#4636#*#*. Scoll down until you see the SMSC item with a textbox beside it. Hit the refresh button and if you are one of those who did not have any problems with SMSC before, you should see a lengthy number appearing in the textbox. That will be your SMSC number.
I appreciate all that can contribute some input here.

A fellow Singtel user here so cant help you with any input. Just wanna thank you for making an effort to help ppl that may have such problem in the future!

Had a similar problem once on Aokp/Aosp roms, I switched to Samsung rom and SMS used to be sent but on Aosp it didn't work. The smsc was the problem but it couldn't be changed using the dialer code. It used to give me some error. The solution I later found was to go to the Samsung messaging app , put in my messaging center number and voila! It works just perfect in any rom now, including aosp roms

Im using Maxis in Malaysia, and your solution Solved my problem, thx :good:, Im just wondering since the no given 0120000015 is without the international prefix which is +6 , will sms's still work overseas or even in Sg whilst roaming?
I tried keying in +60120000015 but it says input error, only accepts the no without the prefix.
Just realised that I have to repeat the steps by rekeying the number in whenever i reboot my phone?? Any ideas??

sorry for the late late reply.
as far as i know, without the prefix it still works bcos when overseas u will be roaming and the overseas telco will recognise the smsc number by identifying your sim card locale settings, which i assume will declare the prefix that the telco should use. So no problem here
To be fair I will test it out since I'm also going away for a vacation soon.
As to you having to rekey the numbers, actually you do not have to. After keying in the dialer code, when you are in the interface, you may just see an empty box beside the SMSC field but you just need to hit Refresh and after 1-2s you should see the SMSC number displayed in the box. I dunno why its always showing an empty box but you shouldn't worry. As long you enter the correct number and update the first time, it should always be there.

Thank you very much for your contributions. Added to first post.

Yeah I'm on a different phone on a different plan but it seems like it's improper apn settings and wrong smsc settings as well that causes this. Kind of a pain.
