I've been trying to buy the "Phone Strap 2" for a couple months with no luck. It seems like this device shipped last year but never made it out of Japan. Is there any way to purchase Willcom phones outside of Japan? Is it possible it was never for sale outside of Japan because it was carrier locked?

I have a feeling that phone would work outside of Asia. It's most likely PHS and runs on a different radio band than most phones.

So, I have an Japanese iPhone 5 from Softbank that I would like to use in Australia. But after some basic it searching it seems that Softbank won't unlock the phone? Does anyone know how I can get it unlocked?

Thanks for the input. It's pretty much what I had found too. I'm just wonder how legit those imei sites are, and whether or not it's better to just jump on a plan that comes with a phone.
