NTT DoCoMo recalls 240,000 SIM cards on roaming issues

According to Japan Today, NTT DoCoMo is recalling smart cards fitted in 240,000 of its cell phones because they could malfunction when used abroad, making it impossible for users to talk or access the i-mode Internet service.

"DoCoMo will replace the cards with new ones for free to enable overseas calls and will ask its foreign partners, which offer Internet access to DoCoMo users traveling abroad, to take the necessary steps to prevent any trouble."
