FAQ
Japan Virtual Phone Number FAQs
What is a Japan virtual phone number?
A Japan virtual phone number is a cloud-based business phone number with a +81 country code that works over the internet instead of a physical phone line or SIM card. It lets companies make and receive calls with a local Japanese number from anywhere, and calls can be routed to mobile phones, desk phones, PBX, or SIP systems. M800’s Japan numbers are local numbers for voice calls.
What is the difference between a Japan virtual phone number and a regular phone number, and can it be used outside Japan?
A regular phone number is tied to a physical line, SIM card, or location in Japan. A Japan virtual phone number is a +81 number delivered over the internet, so it needs no SIM card, hardware, or local office. Because it isn’t tied to a location, you can use it outside Japan: callers dial a Japanese number, and the call is routed to your team wherever they are, as long as they have an internet connection.
How does a Japan virtual phone number help my business?
It gives your business a local +81 presence, so Japanese customers see a familiar number and are more likely to trust and answer your calls. You can enter the Japanese market without a local office or hardware, route calls to the right team or device with IVR and call routing, and keep records with voicemail and call recording.
What is a Japan phone number, and what does one look like?
A Japan phone number is a telephone number in Japan’s national numbering plan. A landline number is written with a leading 0, an area code, and a local number, for example, 03-XXXX-XXXX for Tokyo. Dialed from abroad, the same number is written +81 3 XXXX XXXX, without the leading zero. A Japan virtual phone number follows the same format, but runs over the internet, so you can use it from anywhere.
What is the Japan country code number (+81)?
Japan’s country code is +81. To call Japan from abroad, dial your international access code, then 81, then the area code or mobile prefix without its leading zero, then the local number. With M800, you can get a Japan virtual phone number with a +81 country code for business voice calls from anywhere.
What is a Japan area code, and which area codes can I choose?
A Japan area code is the prefix that identifies a city or region and comes after the country code. For example, Tokyo uses 03 (+81 3 from abroad), Osaka uses 06 (+81 6), Nagoya uses 052, and Sapporo uses 011. When you buy a Japan virtual phone number with M800, you can choose the area code you want, depending on availability.
How can I buy a Japan phone number online?
You can buy a Japan phone number with M800 by selecting your preferred Japanese number, completing the registration process, and activating the number after payment.
What documents do I need to get a Japan virtual phone number?
To verify your business, you'll need three documents: a business registration certificate; proof of company address, such as a recent utility bill, bank statement, or service bill verifying your business location; and a valid government-issued ID (for example, a passport, national ID card, or driver's license) of your authorised representative. Our team guides you through the KYC process, and your number is activated once your business is verified and payment is confirmed.
Is a Japan virtual phone number suitable for small businesses and remote teams?
Yes. A Japan virtual phone number is cloud-based, so small businesses can get a local +81 presence without a local office or hardware.
