Japanese phone numbers. How to call Japan from Russia

Perhaps I moved a little away from the topic of the site and explore areas that are more suitable not for tourism, but most likely for living in Japan, but again, I repeat that once this information was needed by our family, but we could not find it. Perhaps what has now become available to us can be very useful to others. In addition, practice shows that a considerable number of both young people and married couples find ways to live in Japan. By and large, there are few such official ways - it is study, work, family, for them this information will be useful.

Yes, and some points will not be superfluous to know to persons visiting Japan on a tourist visa.

As before, I will use the invaluable information from the book of the Japanese municipal authorities.

Here we will look at everything related to telephone communications in Japan.

FROM telephone communication in Japan has its own characteristics, an ordinary foreigner cannot simply buy a cell phone or a sim card, for this a number of conditions are necessary.

Cellular services agreement telephone connection can be concluded in stores selling telephone sets. To conclude an agreement, you need to make an entrance fee, pay the cost of the device and present an identity card (Foreigner's ID, passport, etc.), and such a document (Foreigner's ID is issued only to persons who have the right to stay in Japan for more than 3 months.) ...

There are options to use cellular communications for a short-term stay in Japan, such as renting cell phones, SIM cards, etc., but this is not cheap in terms of money and is limited in terms of the availability of the service provided.

In the absence of cellular communicationDuring his stay in Japan, all the necessary conversations and negotiations took place via Skype - free of charge and not limited in time (for this, of course, you need to connect the Internet or find Wi-Fi).

The Internet.

To take advantage of computer network Internet, it is necessary to conclude an agreement with a provider (a company providing Internet connection services). The amount of the monthly fee and the range of services provided differ from company to company, therefore it is recommended to inquire at an electrical store or specialized computer store.

Based personal experience we can say that having arrived in Japan on a student visa and settled in a hostel, an Internet communication contract could be concluded immediately, no restrictions and special documents were required.

One of the best ways to keep costs down international calls - IP telephony. It is she who will allow you to make profitable outgoing calls without connection fees to the numbers of those who are in Japan. The cost of any call depends only on the location of the other subscriber. Making calls is preceded by online registration (this is called computer IP-telephony). Some companies also offer free calls as part of certain promotions.

Another excellent alternative to regular calls is using Skype. With its help, you can easily make free voice and video calls, paying only for Internet services.

Such calls will already be paid for, and they will be cheaper for those users who have subscribed.
