Re: Tokyo Phone plug and Mains Power information

[Sarma Vangala <Sarma.Vangala@oracle.com>]

Hello, Harald.

The URL attached lists the various international standards.

http://www.cwt.vt.edu/faq/countries/index.htm

I, too, have a Motorola tri-band (L Series) and have not found
it useful in Japan since my carrier--Pacific Bell--does not have
agreements
there.

A good plan would be to:
1. rent a pre-loaded cell phone at Narita or any other international
airport, and
2. as soon as its number is known, leave this number on your various
voice mail
      greetings.
3. Don't forward your calls from your usual phone since this often does
not work.

If you are based in Germany, it is my understanding that VIAG-Interkom
GmbH is
trying to line up some agreements.

The units in Japan tend to be very small and so make sure you use the
strap to secure it
to a shirt button or something.

Regards,

Sarma
