Hi there,
Apologies if this has been asked before but not only I am new, but I have found nowhere and answer to this question, on other forums either.
Will any of the Nokie LTE devices (thinking of 930 especifically though) will work in Japan with the local carriers Docomo or Softbank? As you might be aware of, we do not have any offerings of Windows Phone 8 devices in Japan yet (yes, you heard it correctly, year 2014 and still ZERO offerings, nobody sells you a Windows Phone 8 device in Japan). So I was thinking, if this month, when the new devices line-up for al carriers is announced, if we still do not have any WP8 offerings, I will get an unlocked Nokia phone (930 would be nice) and try to use it with a local carrier chip.
Does anyone know if this is possible and what are the steps assuming that the device is uncloked? From this page (in Japanese, but the numbers talk) https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Term_Evolution seems like the frequency bands allowed in Japan are 2100, 1800, 900 & 1500, or bands 1, 19 and 21 (11 used for 3G only so far).
If a Nokia phone provided in other country is better (HK?), please let me know as well.
Thanks!
