Why choose a Japan (+81) number

East Asian markets move fast, and buyers want instant, local ways to reach you before they decide to commit.

Carrying a Japan number makes you come across as local in Tokyo and nationwide, even though you're really answering from a laptop, a phone or a call-center dialer on the other side of the planet.

Since it's a genuine number on the Japan telephone network, ordinary calls and texts go through without issue — including the one-time passcodes and verification SMS that apps and websites send.

Everything included with your Japan number

Unlimited inbound texts land on your Japan number
500 outbound SMS bundled in every month
1,000 outbound calling minutes bundled in every month
No cap on inbound calls
SIP login issued per number
One-click call forwarding
Dialer built right into the browser
7-day replacement guarantee
Auto-renews — the number remains yours

Compatible with WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, Telegram and more

Registering on WhatsApp, Telegram or Google with a +81 number only takes a minute — type it into the app, then grab the code from your SMS Conecta dashboard the instant it arrives.

Japan numbers get used to run a second business profile, to keep a personal SIM out of sight, or to look local to Japanese contacts. And if any app turns the number down within the first 7 days, you get a free replacement — our 7-day replacement guarantee.

Searching for a Japan virtual number?

When people search for a Japan virtual number, what they usually want is a +81 number they can use online — no SIM card, no trip to Japan required. That's exactly what SMS Conecta delivers, except it's a genuine number drawn from the Japan numbering plan, not an app-only line or some shared pool.

You can run it from your dashboard, through any SIP app, or forwarded to your own phone, and it takes standard SMS and voice calls just the same — which is exactly why WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and Facebook verification codes come through as they would on any mobile line.

How Japan phone numbers are formatted

Japan's country code is +81. Written in international (E.164) format, a Japan number is +81 plus 9–10 digits — +81 XX-3682-07XX, for instance.

After the number belongs to you, list it in +81 format across your website, invoices and messaging profiles so it works equally well for Japanese contacts and international ones.

Dialing Japan and caller ID

Dialing from the United States or Canada: use 011 81 then the 9–10-digit number. From the UK, Europe, India and most other countries: use 00 81 then the number. On any mobile phone, +81 works no matter where you are.

You can spend your 1,000 monthly outgoing minutes calling Japan or anywhere else, with your +81 number showing up as the caller ID the whole time.
