Q: activating 6s abroad

Hi guys,

 

Since I am looking for an iphone to take during my vacations, and since it's not yet for sale in my home-country, I am thinking of buying it during my holiday (in Japan).

 

For what I have read in these posts (in Apple Support Communities) there are unlocked Iphones in Japan for sale.

 

I am planning to buy my phone there and to activate it during holiday.

Do you know if I require my SIM-card to be fitted in the phone during configuration, or can I use is as an "ipod" and just configure the phone with SIM upon my arrival back at home?

If it requires the SIM during configuration, will it use roaming?

 

Thanks in advance!!
