I can't quite see the sense of this, because handsets are not 
interchangeable between networks, nor are there any other PDC 
networks anywhere outside of Japan where one could use them.

But I am sure some people on this list (including myself) are willing 
to "sell" one of their old keitais not in use anymore (without a 
contract) for a cup of coffee to anyone with enough determination to 
find out for themselves that even the oldest specimen make bad 
doorstops. ;-)

No contract PHS handsets make even worse doorstops, but at least you 
can sell them for the equivalent of a bowl of Ramen in Hong Kong's 
Mong Kok flee market.
