chnsx7,

Have you seen this other thread by someone with the same problem?

If the message you are hearing sounds like that, then you'll just have to keep trying at different times until they answer.

chnsx7,

Can't you leave a voice message, even if the person isn't able to answer the phone at that time?

my story then an answer lol 2008/7/8 12:14
i had this same problem and i tried 2 calling cards..
calling card 1 - i would get that message youre talking about.. calling card 2 - it would ring and ring and say the person isnt answering but my friend said her phone never rang..
she had gotten a new number not long after due to some problems. and when i tried again with calling card ''1'' it worked finally..but with calling card 2, it starts to call but you wouldnt hear any ring.. then i hear Beep beep. then a busy noise. weird.. but at least it worked lol.. anyway
this one is what youre most likely hearing , but i may be wrong.. (i kept getting the first one)

Kochira wa NTT Docomo desu. Okake ni natta denwa wa denpa no todokanai basho ni aruka dengen ga haitte inaitame kakarimasen.

which i believe means the phones off or out of the service area

or youre hearing this one

Kochira wa NTT Docomo desu. Okake ni natta denwa bangou wa genzai tsukawarete orimasen. Osore irimasu ga bangou wo otashikame ni natte okake naoshi kudasai

i think that one is that its not in service right?

or

Kochira wa NTT Docomo desu. Okake ni natta denwa wa okyaku sama no gotsugou ni yori tsuuwa ga dekinaku natte orimasu.

which means temporarily out of service right?

Hope that helps!

he A thanks for the reply

i get a woman's operated voice saying something similar to the 2nd one

Kochira wa NTT Docomo desu. Okake ni natta denwa bangou wa genzai tsukawarete orimasen. Osore irimasu ga bangou wo otashikame ni natte okake naoshi kudasai

but it's a lil different, but this is the closest out of the 3.

and my girl does have docomo.. soo iono

Phone number 2008/7/30 13:52
Kristine,

Yes, Japanese mobile phone numbers are always 8 digits. You'll have to ask your husband to give you the correct number.

cell phone. 2008/9/25 17:32
I receive this phone number of a friend +1307******* on my cell phone in Japan. I did not not answer the phone because I had put it to silence mode. When I reach my home country. I tryied calling the number but each time there is a reply that Says that the country code or area code could be wrong, I have tried with 81 and was given the same answer. Can someone please guide me the way to call Japan cell phone. I believe my friend uses the services of NTT. Thank you

It doesn't seem to be a Japanese number.

The + sign denotes international prefix, followed by a country code.
In this case the country code is 1 (USA), so it looks like a U.S. number 307*******.

If you've got an international call from a Japanese cell phone, it will be +8190******** or +8180********.
