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

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.
3 :
Not unless you have a phone that supports international usage.

the phone would work but u wouldnt have a signal. i think that if u have t-mobile and go to europe it should work though.

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!

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