I think Japanese cell phones have many nice functions. Untill I realized that not only Japanese cell phones have advanced functions, I had thought that Japan's cell phones are the best and most advanced in the world. And what makes the Japan's cell phone world is that government or 3 of Japan's big cell phone carriers don't allow free choice of devices. eg If you contract with company A, you must buy a cell phone from cell phone maker A, B, C, D, and so on, that the company asked makers to make cell phones for the company. I think, that is basically different from the way of many of western (maybe not only western) countries.

@Stormstriker1 Thanks for your comment! I heard it is like that there. Even if it gets more expensive, you still have choices.
In Japan, still we can’t choose cell phones then a provider later. But, except for provider original models, there are many similar ones that the providers have because the same makers make cell phones after the provider’s requests.
I’m in Britain and I’m on O2 at the moment. Your right about most of the western world being able to choose a phone then a provider. But it’s more expensive because it means the provider needs to be able to afford to have contracts that will recognise the phone that you use.
@RobAndTot Haha I see. It’s funny that here is said same; the carrier that provides iPhone’s is Softbank here, I personally like it, but people say it’s couverage of the service area is not as good as the top share carrier here.
Maybe Apple likes to give service of iPhone’s in countries with their worst condition. lol
@JPjul7Kh yeah, i personally don’t have AT&T but i know that it’s a bad service
AT&T constantly drops calls and the calls themselves are bad in the sense of the quality
@RobAndTot Oh yeah. It’s that. Thanks. I hear a lot of people don’t like it iPhones with the carrier.
AT&T
@ActiveAero Thank you. Ah, I supposed so. That’s what I heard. We don’t usually have SIM free ones no matter how expensive they could be. It is, I think, a different problem. But thanks for telling! I appreciate information from some native person
Good video. However, American cell phone companies also contract you to specific phones. The difference is that the same phones often are available on multiple carriers. If you want to buy a phone that will work on any carrier you have to purchase an “unlocked” model. These are MUCH more expensive than contract phones.
No. You must contract with a Japanese career called Softbank to use this one. You can use this abroad, but it’s under this career’s contract.
Can you use that phone in other countries?
dont use the cc in spanish..is awfull..realy very bad
actually you can if you use a hyper sim to unlock it but you don’t get ALL of the cool features like watching tv because you need the Japanese network for that. I have an sh905i myself but don’t use it much because it’s so gimped using it here in the US.
They also have emoji that even move. Here, ( I guess there too) girls tend to use emoji much than others.
I think mine can be bigger than another. Mine’s screen size is 3 inch, I suppose. Yeah, being able to watch live TV on the own cell phone is cool! I don’t use it much though~.
Hey, Kero chan~
Emoji is what I believe, want to believe that what Japanese cell phones are the best at. Sadly, I think you can’t use a Japanese cell phone in your country. You can use only Japanese SIM card.
I agree with Kero, Japanese cell phones have some pretty cool features like the emogi (I’m stuck with having to do the basic
type of thing) but I can’t tell, I think your flip cell phone might be bigger than mine, but that could be of your screen size . I still think your cell phone is better than mine when it comes to watching actual tv, that was awesome!
Wow. Japanese phones are soo cool. I wanna go to Japan & get one. I wish we had emoji like you guys.
