To use your IS11T 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 check "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 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.
