Calling Japan — common questions
- How much does it cost to call Japan?
- $0.15 per minute, billed in whole minutes — part of a minute counts as one. You see the rate before the call rings, and again on every line of your history.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. heyphone runs in your browser — a microphone and some credit is all it takes. The person in Japan receives an ordinary phone call and needs no app.
- Can I call mobiles in Japan?
- Yes — mobiles and landlines both. The two prices are listed separately above because mobile is usually the dearer of the two.
