Japan phone numbers — common questions
What is the country code for Japan?
The international dialling code for Japan is +81. A virtual Japan number is issued inside that numbering plan, so it appears as a local number to anyone calling or texting from within the country.

No. In this country the number works for voice only — inbound SMS is not available. If you need SMS, choose a country where it is supported.
Do I need an office in Japan to get the number?
No. The number is virtual — it routes to your PBX phone system, 3CX or SIP setup wherever your team works. You manage it from the browser.
