## Frequently asked questions

What is the area code for Tokyo?

The area code for Tokyo, Japan is 3. Calling from outside Japan, dial your exit code, then +81, then the area code without its trunk prefix, then the local number — written together as +81 3 followed by the subscriber number.

How do I call Tokyo from abroad?

From the United States or Canada, dial 011 + 81 + 3 + the local number. From most of Europe and from a mobile anywhere, replace the exit code with 00 or simply press and hold 0 to enter a plus sign, which works from any country without knowing its exit code.

Do I drop the 0 when calling Tokyo?

Yes. Japan uses 0 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls, so Tokyo's code is written 3 locally and dialled as 3 from abroad. Keeping the trunk prefix in an international number is the single most common reason the call fails to connect.

How many digits is a Tokyo phone number?

A full Japan number is 9 digits after the country code, area code included — for example +81 3 1234 5678. That length is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number one digit short is a typo rather than a valid shorter number.

How much does it cost to call Tokyo?

Calling a Tokyo landline costs $0.19 a minute with Telvio and a mobile costs $0.19. Ten minutes to a landline is $1.90. Billing is per second with no connection fee, so a short call is charged for the seconds it used rather than rounded up to a whole minute.

## Call Tokyo with Telvio

From $0.19/min. Per-second billing, 1 free minute included.
