Yes. It was very disappointing as the device itself was lovely. Carrier locking dumb mechanism is so stupid, the locked phone shouldn't even be on market. Well at least I got fully refund.

yeah! if it's cheap, most likely it's locked down japan version. they are dumping these e-waste to other countries & are only worth it for spare parts like the screen.

I recently got a second hand for $150 - but I had to return it as it was a Japanese version and seemingly locked and does not allow unlocking boot loader :(
