SIM Card Use

Customers of Vodafone Malta and other overseas mobile operators who have roaming agreements with J-Phone, can now use the SIM card they usually use with their GSM handset with a 3G rental handset, a first in the Japanese market.

J-Phone Co., Ltd. now renamed Vodafone KK, is Vodafone's operating company in Japan. The majority of GSM handsets will not work in Japan, which uses a network that is not compatible with other GSM and CDMA networks.
