Hi, I’m Diane living in Tokyo, Japan. I just got a used FP2 (from a relative who updated to a newer FP) and I could connect it to the network. I just inserted my Mineo sim card (it’s a low cost telecom company using NTT Docomo network for a fraction of the price, using sim-unlocked phones), setup the APN and tadaa ! I’m very happy with it so far! My 6 years old previous smartphone broke in December and I didn’t want to buy a new phone while it was still working fine. Finally it broke, haha. Anyways, many (closed) discussions on the forum asked if FP would work in Japan, it does.
