Can we swap SIM cards for international use?

My husband is stationed in Japan and has an iPhone with a Japanese SIM card. Can we change to a SIM card from an American carrier to use the phone when he's in the states?

iPhone 4

Only if the iphone is unlocked.


Japanese carriers do not unlock iphones at all.


Did he buy the iphone in Japan? If so, then he cannot use it with a U.S sim
