Will my iphone work in japan?

[Its Brenna!]

Next week im heading to japan for a vacation. And i was just wondering if my phone will work there or if i will have to rent one. I have a iphone 3gs. And i was wondering will my internet still work?

you can buy a plan from ATT in advance so that it will work properly just like it would at home in the USA

DON'T DO IT

I have an Iphone and I just recently went to Canada with it, and Canada isn't even very far from where I live and Just because I was over the border every text message was .50 cents, and every minute on the phone was like a $2.00, when they promised that it would be cheaper.

When I asked why all the charges and they said they required it because the phone service that I was leaching off of (ROGERS) charged me all these fees for using their service.

So in Japan I'm betting it will be a whole lot more expensive.

YOUR BEST BET is to get an international phone card which is inexpensive and will work with mostly any payphone.

You can use your internet from your Iphone still if the hotel you're staying at has WIFI or something
