A friend has returned from Japan with a Sharp 705SH mobile phone. Is it
possible to use this phone in the UK. If so will it need unlocked?

Yes it should work on any network (inc. 3), it will need to be
unlocked (if not already).

Well its a GSM 3G phone so in theory yes it can be used here.

Easy way is to insert a UK SIM card and see if it works.

If it is networked locked, not sure if it can be unlocked....

All Japanese 3G phones are supplied locked - the Sharp to Vodafone (now
Softbank) Japan - and its now been declared illegal to unlock phones there
(and networks dont supply unlocking code).
You will find it difficult to get it unlocked over here.

Does that mean it is simply locked to vodafone?

Does that mean I could use a uk vodafone sim with the phone.

No. UK Vodafone and former Vodafone Japan (now Softbank) have separate
identities and sim cards arent interchangeable (like Orange UK and Orange
France (France Telecom), T-Mobile UK with T-M US and Germany).
