I picked up an HTC Evo 3D phone a while back, for 7980yen. The factory unlocked iphones are expensive, but some of the other brands are not too bad!!Īnother interesting thing you can do with AU phones is to use them as a music player, android WiFi device, as some of these AU smart phones are ridiculously cheap!!! e.g. Softbank will not unlock phones, so it's best to stick to DoCoMo. A friend of mine also calls and asks the people in the store (the one on the west side of Chuo Dori) to unlock a locked DoCoMo phone before he comes to pick it up!!!! (So you can possibly go into the store and ask them to unlock it and you can pick up the next day/week) The DoCoMo phones can be unlocked in a DoCoMo store for 3150yen. To flash the docomo ROM to the au phone, I followed the below instructions. If I ever have an answer to that, I'll post that here as well. No idea whether the au phone with the docomo ROM will be able to use all docomo bands. Some of these are different from au bands. They sell DoCoMo & Softbank phones (locked), but also some factory unlocked phones. The only thing I'm left wondering about is use of the docomo LTE bands. When browsing in these shops, make sure you DON'T buy any of the AU iphones/Samsung Galaxy/Experia/HTC/etc because these are special versions just for AU with ONLY CDMA, not 3G. also without SIM, the phone can be used, connection via wifi. (network restricted) do not matter if you using it outside japan. Destinations Top Destinations Top Destinations Tokyo. You can get these phones at IOSYS at Akihabara.
