Toshiba Simm Less Mobile Phone

yorica

Hi gang

I have a Toshiba Mobile phone which I bought in Japan. It is a sim less phone.

Can anyone tell me whether it can be used in the UK?

Thanks in advance

It looks remarkably like the TS921 in the picture

you could try a uk vodafone sim card in it?
if it doesnt work with a uk voda sim it may need unlocking

In fact the mobile model number is v603t and just to further clarify it is a sim less mobile.

Any advice is welcomed

i'm confused (i have looked on google but cant find anything)
do you mean it doesnt take a sim card? or is it unlocked?

There's an article that says that the phone operates on the [FONT=Verdana,Arial,helvetica]W-CDMA 2-GHz band. As to whether[/FONT] it'll work as a mobile phone in the UK, my guess would be 'no'.

The English manual for the Toshiba V603T is also available online.

Most Japanese networks are different systems. If visiting, it's possible to take and use a 3g (= WCDMA) phone over there, but I'm not sure how you'd be able to use this one here without a SIM.

Yes, I agree.

There is some general information about Japanese phones on this Mobileburn.com thread. Posts #17 and #18 are the most informative (though I did find them a slightly difficult to follow).
