Need advice : Sharp 007sh J or similar to use outside Japan

[SuperSZ]

consider that the 007SH battery isn't great at all, so I don't know how many hours of music you'll get till the battery drains (bluetooth uses a lot of power). ... if you listen to A LOT of music, you better buy some cheap 8gb or 16gb mp3 player (so you don't have to worry about the battery on the 007SH)

No, I don't listen music on my phone ^^
But it's usefull to answer when you are in car, etc,...

And also I would like to have some Pluggy >.< (snif)

yeah, it would have been nice to have a 3.5mm headphone jack.... also it would have been nice if the keitais were quadband phones, like 85% of phones nowadays :/ .... those are details which makes huge difference.

If your car has bluetooth, I think you can connect your phone by bluetooth to the car so you can recieve calls, etc.

[Aya19th]

Yeah, it's not really important after all

Aaaw so the phone doesn't work for you ? >.< Or you have not try with the new sim ?
I hope, mine will have no problems

Pas de problème! It worked in Germany, so it will work in France, too!

[Aya19th]

Haha in French
Great news but too long to wait hypersims xD

It doesn't work (I mean, the phone itself works but I have no signal, so it doesn't work AS A PHONE :P so I can't use it right now ... it's like having a Ferrari with no gasoline). I'm waiting for the new SIM card to arrive, and if that fails, I am waiting for this to arrive:

That blank simcard has a different shape (the yellow part) than the one I have, so maybe it can work (For just 3.69 dollars, I had to try it out .... but it will arrive like in a month).

So basicly this will explain my situation, and what I'm gonna do:

Haha xD
Another solution, move, change country

Hopes for you ^^

I don't know if your car has a USB audio interface, but if it does, just get a used iPod classic, load all your music on it, plug it into the usb jack and keep it in there indefinitely (or just get a USB flash drive). SQ is likely better than the regular 3.5mm aux (digital audio > analogue) and you can control it using the stereo controls rather than having to fiddle with the tiny buttons while moving.

Nice flow chart

As aya19th said, just skip all of those steps, move to Japan and get a contract with SoftBank. Problem solved, guaranteed

Grrrrr I received my hypersim from DealExtrem.
So hard to put in the phone >.<
Any advice for a noob ? xD

On the 007SH you need to remove the sim card tray to insert a hypersim/sim combination safely. Just tug at it- it'll eventually come out.

Use some tape to stick the hypersim and your sim together, making sure it doesn't touch any of the contacts. Leave a bit at the end so you can pull it out.

Good advice, yamanote!

When I had the phone I managed to put them in together after trying a little while. It's not too hard once you did it 2 - 3 times.

[Aya19th]

OMG, I put the sim+hypersim in the simcard tray >.<
So hard to pull it out now !

I tried with and without and I have this message :

I don't like the thought of causing unnecessary wear on the sim reader. The increased thickness of the hypersim+sim makes up for the height of the sim tray... combine the two and it's a bit too thick for my liking haha.

That's something to do with your SIM card then- I thought you were having issues with inserting the SIM

Pop the SIM into a regular unlocked phone, disable the SIM card's PIN lock and try again.

[Aya19th]

Yeah great. It works \o/
Call : ok in GSM - No in 3G

Tomorrow (for me), I will try to add internet and sms ^^

I can practice my English now haha !!

Thanks for your help
