been thinking to get this phone for college cuz i wanna be less distracted and this video has sold me on this phone, great ive stumbled onto this video
i got one for college as well! am on t-mobile so didn't have do go through with this though. my 902kc is one of my favorite devices i've ever owned and i totally reccomend!!! so much less distracting than ye ole iphone. and you can still use the browser and grab a couple apks if you really HAVE to kill time, but it's so inconvienent i feel less inclined to. totally reccomend. the only issue is that using location services/maps can be super spotty in the US (but seems to work fine with some other people? i guess it depends) but a car gps / downloading maps on a old phone with no sim suffices fine to fill that purpose. some companies like garmin also make really high quality watch/handheld gps for hiking but they can be expensive. good luck and i hope you find a good phone!
i'm so happy i found this vid. I'm interested in getting this and using it as my main phone but I have AT&T too and was steered away from it because it wasn't compatible, but this changes everything! thank you so much!
I'm glad it helped. Feel free to share this on reddit if you use it (I think that's where a lot of people looking into these ケイタイ are coming from) and I'd hate for people to think their locked out from using it because of them having ATT (I don't use reddit either)
What did you end up doing? I'm looking into Keitais for the US but it's really looking like the universe doesn't want us Americans to have cool-looking phones.
i keep trying to set the APN, but it disappears every time like in your video. but when i exit and renter, its still not there. something isn’t taking, i’m not sure what.
how is your experience with service reliability/call dropping??? do you know how many/which bands at&t uses that this thing supports?? is it only 2g or can u connect to 4g LTE?
Hello, I’m seriously considering getting this phone, are there any drawbacks or problems you are facing with this configuration? I’m afraid the reception is spotty and it would be unable to call sometimes
Yeah defintely. was going to make a video on what i thought about it, im getting more and more comments so I probably should. a lot of appsfor me didnt work, very veryslow Ui due to the slow processor. this is actually the top tier keitai you can get, they dont make anything more powerful then this
I have T-mobile every time I put in the sim card I get a screen displaying Sim network unlock pin. I checked my phone's IMEI and it says it is unlocked. I even tried getting a PUK code from t-mobile and they gave me 2 pins and both of them did not work. Let me know what the issue is.
@@heyuncle543 I had to kind of trick it. I entered the Name + APN and saved it . Exit and go back . Enter the other info and saved it 1 by 1. I had to do it a few times b/c for whatever reason it deletes the info. Hope this helps.
Hope you enjoy it. Id advice getting it from buyee.jp,ebay or fromjapan. They can be gotten for like 100 bucks. The 3rd party sites selling these at like 350 dollars is crazy. These are 60 dollar phones in Japan.
I recently purchased the 902Kc but I can't figure out how to set it up. The phone is completely in Japanese and I can't figure out how to switch it to English. The other thing is I am not sure if my device is locked or not when I tried putting my sim card into the phone it asks for a sim code, does that mean my device is locked?
i recomend to use google translate camara to get to settings and change the luaguage but for the sim you should try atnts defualt atnt code if that does not work you might have to hire someone to unlock the phone

for anyone whos apn is not saveing i solved this by leaveing the MNC to defualt and was still able to get 4G wifi
it works for a little bit but eventually they text me that the phone isn't compatible and it gets shut off, even with the APN.
What did you end up doing? I'm looking into Keitais for the US but it's really looking like the universe doesn't want us Americans to have cool-looking phones.
Is this still happening?
@@williamstanziano614 did you find a solution?
@@williamstanziano614just get a cheap secondary phone plan imo and hotspot it with ur primary if u need wifi
i keep trying to set the APN, but it disappears every time like in your video. but when i exit and renter, its still not there. something isn’t taking, i’m not sure what.
actually, it seems like putting in the MNC is what does it. i tried resetting the phone, but it keeps purging it when i put in the MNC. any advice?
Since cricket is owned by AT&T, will this work with cricket as well?
I hope so.
how is your experience with service reliability/call dropping??? do you know how many/which bands at&t uses that this thing supports?? is it only 2g or can u connect to 4g LTE?
4g. didnt use it long term but it was stable.

It's network locked to SoftBank, nothing to do with your SIM card. You have to pay for an unlock code.
@@mobilephonesandtech There are some ebay sellers who will unlock softbank phones
having troubles saving - any solutions?
Figured it out but are you able to update ur phone's OS?
Hi, how did you end up solving it? I also can't save the APN

@@VincentW2 Yeah I'm keeping tabs on eBay for the right one, insane that they're almost $400 from 'official' resellers 😭
Would this work with the aquos 601sh?
Hello! did you have to unlock the phone with softbank? If so how, my phone keeps blocking the web page from loading
I bypassed the softbank factory reset password. was going to make a video but didnt know if anybody else needed the info
