some american phones do work internationally. America uses radio towers to transmit the signals while most of the world use satellites (GSM). call your service provider to see if your phone supports (GSM). if it does you will have to pay extra for the calls. they definately will not be cheap!

I could in Hawaii to California...but Japan? I don't think the service provider would make it that far. It would HAVE so bad connection (like in Hawaii) if it worked.

Unfortunately not. They use a totally different cell phone technology.

Define "normal american cell phone" ?
But in all likelihood, it will not work.

Not unless you have a phone that supports international usage.
