Does this work in Japan? Is there a dual sim model?

The Global GSM version of Moto E should work with all GSM carriers. It supports the following bands: UMTS 850/900/1900/2100; and GSM 850/900/1800/1900. The global version is not a good choice if you wish to get 3G on band 4 carriers (UMTS 1700), such as T-Mobile in the US - instead buy the US GSM version. (Release date: June 3.) It's always best to check with your carrier before purchasing. Please note that the amazon.com Moto E purchased from the US site is only warranted in the US. This is a single SIM phone. There are dual SIM versions in some countries/regions but not in the US.

Hello Luis,Well, don't loose your time with this BS, it doesn't work at all! I travel abroad a lot and I often have to switch SIM cards (local SIM and my country SIM) and I wanted to buy it to avoid switching all the time. The problem is both SIM cards must have the same GSM standard to work properly. In my recent case for example, the GSM standard in the US is different of my country (Brazil) so I wasn't able to use both at the same time. If you plan for the same situation, run away of this BS! On the other hand if you want to use only in your country, you can try but again it is a matter of lucky. Take care!

I have 2 of these phone for use in a dual sim configuration, one for controlled cost from the US and the other from the country that we are traveling. All that you have to do is check the GSM frequency from your carrier with those of the phone. This may be a quad band phone which should work in the majority of the covered world. The dual stand-by function works flawlessly. One sim slot allows 3G data speeds while the other allows only 2G. It's a typical Android environment. Overall it's a good phone that we will use for the foreseeable future with no need to change.

Hi. I own this phone since September '13. This is an special version from Samsung only for Chinese carrier, but somebody in Hong Kong rooted it and the phone is unlocked to be used in any gsm network. Software is in English. Google play works fine. The Sim card place number 1 work in 3G network and data. The number 2 only up to EDGE. ALL s4 accessories works fine. This is same phone just the dual Sim feature. Regards

I've used mine in Asia (China, Taiwan) and also in Plymouth (UK) and in Germany. So it should work there. Go to your local mobile service provider and have them cut and install the micro SIM card for you preferred service (at least 1Gig / month should do). Enjoy

No. The dual sim version is sold on the UK. You might still be able to get it in the US if you search hard

Hi, it's not a dual SIM phone, probably you are talking about the HTC Desire 601. Whatsapp works great..

Hi Kohei. Yes you can use it in Japan and furthermore, any where in the world. The challenge at this point is that you have to use our cellular carriers for Canada and the USA. This means that when you go out of those areas a "roaming" charge is applied. If you require further information please contact julia@amberalertgps.com Kind Regards, AAGPS

I do not know if it works in Japan. I bought it for a France trip and it worked so poorly! I do not recommend this product at all!!! I am wondering why amazon still sells it. Look up "truphone sim" I use it for Europe and have had zero problems or complaints. You might also look into your carriers like sprint and verizon... Or look into buying a local Japanese phone and pay by minute SIM card, that way you know the phone will work. Happy travels! (Just don't buy this card!!)

No, I just put in one and it was fine. The home screen displayed the network name for that one, and below that it just said something like "No SIM 2." I believe you could just toggle back and forth between two SIM cards/networks if you needed to based on your travels.

This is a liberated type dual sim mini phone should work in your area so you just have mini sim card.

Laidaa is wrong. A sim card is necessary but not sufficient, you also need a quadband phone which this is. A triband phone would not work in Asia.

According to the manual, it is dual sim version. the second sim slot can be used as micro storage slot, quite clever design. but i never tried to install the second sim card though, better confirm with the vendor.

As far as I know it will work in all major countries except Japan and China. The best way to find out is to look at the AT&T Digital Data Roaming chart to determine exceptions. It a country is listed it means that the service and frequencies are the same so a local chip should be capable of working in the Hot Spot.

If you mean international roaming, it won't work.Can you get a local SIM wherever your destination may be, if you have an unlocked phone?
