e-SIM-lock--report

>Japan on Friday agreed to end restrictions on mobile telephone users switching operators or using an overseas network by changing the SIM memory card, a report said.

>Japan's major mobile service carriers currently sell handsets that accept only their respective SIM cards.

>This means Japanese people travelling overseas cannot fit SIM cards of local carriers in their Japanese handsets and must instead use the international services of their Japanese carriers, or buy a new phone.

So, does this mean I'll be able to get a Japanese phone and use it here, soon?
