I’d like to use a Blackberry Classic or Passport with a Softbank pre-paid sim card to send and receive basic calls and text messages, and maybe taking unimportant pictures. However, I’m a bit confused as to whether it’s possible or not, because I heard some contradicting information.
What I gathered so far (please correct me if I’m wrong):
* Both the Blackberry Classic and Passport support 4G
* 3G does not work in Japan as of January 2024
* I can use a Softbank pre-paid nanosim card however I want in any (compatible) device I want (I used to have a pre-paid sim card working in a cheap Chinese phone-watch back in the day)
* The Passport would be a slightly better option because its camera is 13MP instead of the 8MP of the Classic, and the Classic doesn’t have tactile keys, so you need to swipe with that little button thing.
Please let me know if there are any other details I should consider. If this ends up being a bad idea, I’d like to buy a cheap dumb phone.
EDIT: Just forgot to mention: I don’t want to have Android on my phone.
