When I use my Docomo phone in America, the phone says "Cingular" (I thought the name Cingular had stopped being used a few years ago), but the phone works well enough.

I'll definitely look into this! I really want to use an American phone in Japan, because I don't know if it makes any sense to buy a phone in Japan that I can't use once I leave.
