Using LG V10 or Motorola in Japan

Using LG V10 or Motorola in Japan - Close-Up Shot of a Man Sitting on a Couch while Using a Laptop

Traveling to Japan early May for a couple of weeks, exploring options for data access while there for easier navigation, translation, etc.

I have an LG V10 on the Verizon network, my girlfriend has a Motorola Droid Turbo also on Verizon. We got both phones with our plans, so I don't know lock/unlock status.

Can we pop a pre-paid SIM card from a place such as this one (http://japan-wireless.com/) into our phones or are they locked off?

Other issues/concerns/suggestions?

We could rent the portable LTE Wifi Pod, but complicates things by having to mail it back.

Best Answer

You can pop a SIM card into your phones. The Verizon LG V10 and the Verizon Droid Turbo have at least one LTE radio band necessary to talk to at least one Japanese carrier (Band 3; NTT DoCoMo and MVNO operators using their network) in what appear to be limited areas, so don't count on it working everywhere. 3G doesn't appear to be a problem, though.
