Hi there,

I've been contemplating FOREVER whether or not to get myself a keitai, and now I'm finally getting scared that the flip phones will die out and I feel I have to get one before they're not produced anymore <.<

I've read a lot in this sub-forum, but as I'm a total tech-noob I'm still unsure about some things....

I'm thinking of getting myself an unlocked docomo (can't decide which model yet), probably from kyoto exports.

But what makes me nervous is that it seems that it still depends on the carrier whether you can really use a keitai outside of Japan. At least that was my impression from reading here, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong! I'm currently using a prepaid simyo simcard - so my question is: Does anyone have any experience with simyo and keitais, especially in Germany?

I'm really uncomfortable with the thought that I might have bad luck and simyo is one of those carriers that just won't work with a keitai. I'm not talking about internet/mms, just the simple calling and sms features.


Thanks for any info that you might have!
