From interview of J-Phone PR's Matthew Nicholson by Daniel Skuka of WirelessWatch Japan, 9/5/02:

<<How does dual mode technology figure into your 3G plans?
"We've been saying we'll do dualmode handsets in 2003, and for us, that means GSM/W-CDMA," says Matthew. "This way, you get global roaming." Specifically, this will mean "plastic roaming," achieved through the UIM/SIM card that can be transferred from a W-CDMA handset to a GSM handset, thus transferring a subscriber's J-Phone account info to a handset that would then work in a GSM market. He also says they have no plans for dualmode PDC/W-CDMA, which contradicts what president Green said last November (read the Nikkei report). Why the change? We can only guess that the cost and technical problems involved in creating a dualmode PDC/W-CDMA handset for such a small audience was deemed prohibitive.

Will J-Phone W-CDMA be compatible with DoCoMo W-CDMA?
In a word, "no." J-Phone will make sure that the W-CDMA handsets used here can be used in Europe. Roaming is a "big part" of our plans, says Matthew.>>
