Hello, I need to get a Japanese phone number so I can call with it and also verify my number.
Skype isn't good for that, I wanted to use SMARTtalk but I also need a Japanese phone number to verify and get a new number...
If anyone can help, thank you very much.

Are you a resident in Japan or only visiting?

$10 says neither, OP is living outside Japan but wants to use some sort of online service that is restricted to residents of Japan and requires phone number verification.

I am moving to Japan in a month, but I need a phone number before I move there unfortunately.
If I was already in Japan I wouldn't ask this question.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you so much for your help, unfortunately this thread is about how to get a Japanese phone number but in Japan.
Mobal is a good service but their sims cards don't work outside of Japan, so I can't use it before I am in Japan.
Maybe there is no way to get a phone number before moving, so I will probably have to ask a friend I guess...

Without a resident in Japan you cannot get a number. All number are register to prevent fraud.
If you know someone in Japan you can ask for a prepaid. Prepaid needs to be activated first in Japan. But use outside Japan is expensive, (and no 100% guarantee is works)
