Will my vodafone iphone5 work in Japan?

Last year in Japan my iPhone 4 was pretty much just an iPod for the whole trip.

I've got an iPhone 5 now but if it's not going to work then I probably won't bother taking it

Is there any kind of pay as you go SIM card I can buy to use in my phone while I'm there?

For short trips you can try renting a sim card or just rent a phone if you really need it. Alternatives include renting a mobile Wi-Fi device. You can use internet etc, you just can't make calls, but with high costs I wouldn't anyway.

There are lots of companies online and at the airport that offer sims. I would recommend a data only sim if your only going for a short trip.

Should my iPhone be working properly to make calls and send MMS, and check email? Is there something I need to do to make it work? Thank you. Thank you Tech One. But do I have to change carriers while I'm here? I'm still active with my current carrier from Japan.
