Is there a phone out there that works not only on the 4 GSM bands, but in Japan and S. Korea as well?
I believe for Japan you need WCDMA 2100.
For S. Korea UMTS? 2100? or WCDMA?

If no such phone exists, which phones are quad GSM and WCDMA for Japan?
Which phones would be quad GSM for S. Korea?

Or is S. Korea WCDMA like Japan?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment on this subject. Both ATT and T-Mobile USA have roaming in both those countries as do some of the prepaid cards mentioned here. I could find a WCDMA phone on either ATT or T-M's site.

My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
