Bakanogami posted:Just got a verizon 4S in the states, but I'm applying for JET soon, and I'm curious; if I were to get in and move over there, would there be any way to get the phone I have working on au or softbank instead of having to buy a whole new phone or pay stupid amounts for roaming? Verizon and Sprint will unlock your GSM band so you can stick whatever sim you want in there from "roaming" on GSM. Just happen to roam permanently on Softbank.

zmcnulty posted:Keitai Watch has a quick review up: 4 vs 4s defeats the purpose of the 4s having its magic antennas and being twice as fast on GSM. Also I can't believe AU launched a half assed iOS device. SoftBank doesn't do visual voicemail unless you pay extra but everything else works fine. Glad to hear your finally upgrading. ProTip: if your cool like carfax, dtb, or me and have both and iPhone and iPad set your iMessages caller ID to your email so you can get messages pushed across all devices. Otherwise iPads don't get messages sent to phone numbers. They need to unify devices belonging to one person with the next update so the phone number goes to everything I own too.

Just turn off wifi when you don't need it. Make it easy by jailbreaking and using SBSettings.

Kenishi posted:I wonder if Apple Japan is given a lot of leeway to make the Japan localization how they want. It could explain why the localization has been so slow. They got their data from increment p corporation which seems to have pretty decent map data but mostly for streets and driving, but not public transit (subways have no exit numbers). When comparing iOS 6 maps to the sample increment p maps it was clear that apple must have bought the ghetto maps from 10 years ago or some incomplete poo poo. they done hosed up. Google up increment p to check it out.

tarepanda posted:Heads are going to roll here. I wonder if the Japanese providers will try to prevent the rollout of iOS 6 since it's obviously going to suck rear end. People are getting their iPhone 5s from today. I was using my friends to check out maps. Also iOS 6 went live already so anyone who jumped on it right away better learn maps dot google dot com.

zmcnulty posted:increment p makes MapFan which is definitely detailed and has subway exit numbers. There's even an iphone app: http://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/mapfan-for-iphone/id354667360?mt=8 With that kind of data they could have launched a much better product. I hope zombie jobs eats the brains of the lead maps developer.

inklesspen posted:Anyone know if CDMA-enabled iPhone5's will work on DoCoMo? I found what looks like a pretty good LTE SIM rental deal, but to quote the response from their support email, "DoCoMo will not confirm YES or NO whether their nanosim work in your CDMA device." yes but not for LTE, you will fall back to some flavor of 3G.

I would get an unlocked HK/SG phone and throw a docomo sim in it to not have to deal with docomo crap on the phone or slow upgrades.

Bmoblie has one that uses their own Sims. Or get a cheap used android phone to use as a router.

LimburgLimbo posted:I'm thinking I might try and go for a mobile wifi hotspot for a while instead of setting up my apartments wifi... I want a mobile wifi hub anyway and I figure it will cut down on distractions like games and youtube and poo poo while I'm busy working. Is this a terrible idea? I like my emobile and it's cheap like 3800 a month, but remember its like 5...7 something GB before they cap the speed to 128K. I don't think I've ever hit it but it's not my primary internet. Speed is fine though for regular surfing, but I wouldn't use it for downloading linux isos or netflix. Just get the line and a wifi router for that.

Docomo does sim only but the data is more expensive. I just shoved my iPhone sim info my Nexus 4.

I'm total retarded, biglobe has data only sim plans and I think they are based off Docomo. They have a 3 sim plan with 7gb shared data. OCN has Sims as well same off of Docomo. Just Google biglobe and OCN Sims.
