Apple iPhone Unlocked for Use in Europe Submitted by Chad Shmukler on August 6, 2007 - 4:51pm Not long after we updated you about a major milestone on the road to an unlocked iPhone, one which brought an unlocked iPhone ever closer, hackers have unlocked the iPhone for use in Europe.
If shopping for a phone in Europe, use the European term 'mobile' (pronounce it the way Brits do — rhymes with 'smile') or 'handy' (common in German-speaking areas). Finally, you may already have an old, unused mobile phone in a drawer somewhere. It's probably locked, but your provider may be willing to send you a code to unlock it.
Here's a guide on what you need to do to travel with your iPhone to Europe — followed by some applications that should be helpful for your trip. Jailbreak and unlock your iPhone.

A lot has changed in the mobile phone landscape in Japan over the last few years.

'iPhone is unlocked when you buy it SIM free but Apple's software means it locks to the first network you use it with.' That's why it's always worth double-checking where an iPhone was originally purchased if you're buying second-hand from the likes of eBay.

Cell phones used to be very heavily restricted. You had a choice of three large companies, all offering near-identical packages and prices, with customer service standards that generally fell well below what you would come to expect from Japan.

To make matters worse, it was nearly impossible to bring a phone into Japan and use it on one of these networks. If you didn’t buy one of the company’s phones on an overpriced two-year plan, then you couldn’t get access to its network.

Thankfully, this all changed a few years ago, when the government brought an end to the restrictive practice that was the blanket ban on phone unlocking in Japan (the process of making a device capable of working on any carrier network). That being said, figuring out the best option for a phone in Japan is still extremely tricky.

In this quick guide, GaijinPot will walk you through the following topics:

Unlocking your Japanese smartphone

After May 2015

Now, any phones bought after May 2015 can be unlocked provided you have been with the carrier for more than 180 days. Some carriers may try to play dumb in this regard. But it is the law, and they cannot refuse to unlock your phone provided you meet these conditions. A phone that has been unlocked should, in theory, work on any network worldwide.

However, bandwidth differences mean that you may not get full functionality. For example, a phone that gives 4G coverage in Japan may only give 3G coverage elsewhere and vice-versa. A number of phones will not work at all outside of Japan, but these days the number of phones with this problem is small and continues to drop year by year.

Be aware, the three main network providers—AU, SoftBank and Docomo—will straight up lie to your face about this.

So, unless you’re very unlucky, unlocking is a great way to free up your options for pursuing cheaper phone plans.

Of course, if you’re planning to cancel your current contract then you will need to pay off whatever amount remains to be paid on the phone too, plus any cancellation fees.

However, you do not necessarily need to cancel your contract in order to unlock the phone. For example, a friend of mine was going home to England for a month during the summer and he wanted to use a local pay-as-you-go SIM card. He unlocked his phone but continued to use SoftBank until his contract ran out some six months later. (This may only be an option depending on your contractor, so do look into that.)

Before May 2015

A common question I am often asked in this regard is: “If my phone was bought before May 2015 can I still get it unlocked?”

The answer is: “Officially, no. Unofficially, possibly.”

Be aware, the three main network providers—AU, SoftBank, and Docomo—will straight up lie to your face about this. They will say it’s impossible to unlock any phone bought from them before May 2015. This is demonstrably false, as I have personally used two different unlocked phones in Japan bought from Docomo and AU prior to 2015.

However, you’ll need to go to an unofficial source to get these phones unlocked. With a bit of internet searching, you will find companies able to accommodate you.

If you can do without your phone for a week or two then the cheapest option would be to send it away to one of the dozens of phone unlocking companies based in Hong Kong who will unlock and root your phone for a fraction of the prices charged in Japan.

The legalization of unlocking is just one positive aspect of the new laws coming into effect.

The difference between “SIM-free” and “unlocked”

In principle, SIM-free phones and unlocked phones function in the same way. They should work on almost any network worldwide. However, there is a subtle difference between the two.

SIM-free, also sometimes referred to by vendors as “factory unlocked,” means that the phone is designed to be used around the world by whichever network you choose. These phones, if they are genuinely SIM-free, should not have any network markings (such as an AU or SoftBank logo) on them. Unlocked phones are those which originally belonged to a specific carrier but have been manually unlocked by someone with the requisite expertise. Although in most cases these phones should work on almost any network, they are less reliable than true SIM-free phones that are designed to be used in several different countries on multiple networks.

Most modern, name-brand phones from abroad will work in this regard. Until recently, I used an iPhone 6 bought in the U.S. and I have heard from friends who used Samsung, ASUS and HTC phones from Hong Kong and Taiwan without any issues.

However, if you have a phone that is perhaps 10 or more years old, it may not work in Japan. Until the mid-2000s, the most common network band globally was GSM, however, Japan has never had a GSM-compatible network. So, GSM phones will not work in Japan.

Do’s and don’ts for switching to a cheaper network or plan

Another encouraging side effect of this change has been the rise of mobile virtual network operators (MVNO). These are companies that rent the existing network architecture from the big three and given lower overheads, can offer far cheaper prices to consumers.

But, to make use of these networks, you will need a SIM-free phone—again, a phone that isn’t locked to any particular network.

One important caveat here concerns AU and the MVNOs using its network that may have compatibility issues with phones from abroad or those native to another Japanese network.

This is because AU’s network uses a different frequency for its LTE signals. In all honesty, it’s probably best just to avoid using AU and its partner networks if you’re bringing a phone from abroad. The Docomo and SoftBank MVNOs have far less potential for compatibility problems and aren’t any more expensive.

Another good option for local MVNO coverage is Line Mobile. As an offshoot of the popular messaging app, Line Messenger, Line Mobile offers data and call plans at very competitive rates as well as numerous bonus features for users of the app.
