To use your IS12F overseas, you need to switch to the
network of the provider in the country you are visiting.
The overseas network condition is available on the au
homepage. Make sure to check the condition before
leaving Japan.

◎ Before leaving Japan, make sure to mark "Phone number for
inquiries when overseas" described in the au homepage and
note it down. For loss or theft of the cell phone or au ID card,
immediately contact the number for inquiries to take the
necessary steps for suspending the use.
◎ If your micro au IC card is lost or stolen, it may be used
improperly by inserting to another cell phone (including a global
GSM cell phone) by a third party. To prevent those risks, setting
PIN code is recommended.
