@ mada,
As per your similar question in another recent thread regarding Japanese SE phones, the following article should provide you with all the relevant info:
http://www.japan-zone.com/new/mobile_sim1.shtml

Basically, most places outside the countries you mentioned ie. Europe etc. use GSM phones, whereas there is 3 different formats in Japan, namely:
PDC
CDMA
WCDMA

Hope this helps.

Taken from the article:

Very briefly, there are three mobile phone technologies supported by the major networks within Japan - PDC (Personal Digital Cellular), CDMA (Code Divisional Multiple Access) and WCDMA. DoCoMo, Vodafone and TU-KA support the established PDC, and DoCoMo and Vodafone have also introduced the newer WCDMA, while AU supports CDMA. All three of these technologies are incompatible with each other.

they dont work becuase... the frequencies are VERY different... as i said somewhere else, its like trying to program a program in HTML, it just wont work. GSM is the 850/900/1800/1900 bands, and CDMA and all the other bands china/japan use are very far from GSM.
Its good to be back!
