do i need a 3G sim card to use with a 3G cellphone? or will a normal sim card will do work with a 3G cellphone??
i have to make sure before i buy the phone. as the phone is from Japan and it is 3G. thanks!

So long as the phone ALSO supports GSM in addition to whatever 3G standard it uses, you'll be fine. But you won't be able to use 3G features.emiko08 wrote:this sound stupid. but i am really clueless.![]()

As far as i know, very few japanese phones support GSM. Why not tell us the exact model of the phone you have?

Though I hope you know what entails there - Japan uses the CDMA network, unlike most of the world on either of the 4 GSM bands. A CDMA phone cannot function in the GSM network and vice-versa.
ONLY if it also supports GSM!!! Make sure your phone does!emiko08 wrote:

but i am glad that the 3G phone can be used with normal sim card.
