D-AMPS is designed to be compatible with the older analog AMPS technology, which is widely deployed in the U.S. TDMA is used as an enhancement to the AMPS network by the use of dual band AMPS / TDMA (or D-AMPS) phones. Use of these phones gives the widespread coverage of the AMPS networks along with some advantages of digital systems in areas where TDMA networks are available.

The Iridium system works by the handset sending a signal to one of several satellites, which orbit the Earth. There are 66 Iridium satellites in 6 different polar orbits, and one complete orbit of the Earth takes 100 minutes, since they travel at 16,832 miles per hour.

Japanese Phone Network

The systems used for mobile phone communication in Japan, are completely different to those, used in other parts of the world and therefore, your handset, regardless of whether it has tri-band capabilities or not, will be incompatible with the Japanese networks.
