  • do you by chance know how to call a cell phone in japan from the usa?

  • i use skype lol, but if you doing the skype method just call the skype in number and it'll forward it to japan.

    soo say you know Person A's Phone number in japan.

    you y our self have a skype in account.

    set the forwarding number to his number with the country code. then call your skype in number, dont pick up and it'll forward the call.

  • Hey, I'm living in Japan now and I'm getting charged SkypeOut rates. Did you get around this somehow or should I just suck it up and pay the charge to forward to cell phones?

  • hey this was done like in 07 since then they started charging a small fee.

    still Cheaper then going with normal phone companies

  • i would loooove to buy a phone there in japan..but will it work if i bring it bakc to europe (changing the sim card)?? and how much (price range)do you have any tips? cause there are prepaid and contract ones.. could u please give me some more info..that would be great!

  • the softbank phones will not work in other countries, at least mine doesnt.

    the price range of the phones are 5000 yen to 15000 yen

    roughly 48-150 dollars pending on what model and it costs 3000 - 5000 yen for prepaid minutes which can be bought at quick stops

see all

  • no, japan works on a different frequency than us/canada i believe its 1600 while we are on 900/1800

  • Awesome, thanks for the tips... I'm moving to Japan in a couple weeks and was wondering how people were going to get in touch with me, but you helped me through this. Thanks again!

  • jesus thats a lot of steps lol

    im not good with

    phones tho xD

    so calling her would be my

    biggest challenge

  • look for unlocked phones on the internet. They're typically expensive, but make sure its compatible with your carrier. Im not sure carriers will help you getting a japanese phone working here.

  • are there any japanese phones that would work in the us?

  • aight this isnt ment to be like an asshole comment, but im really curious about to things, do the japanese import products from china? and ive alwayz been told that if u spit on the ground in japan, u get beat wit a cane??? if this is true how would someone go about chewing tobacco in japan? srry if this comes off as arrogant or cocky, but im jus curious
