Cheap calls to Japan
Make free calls to Japan with Planet NumbersIf your UK landline or mobile plan includes calls to 0845 numbers, the call to our access number comes out of your inclusive minutes, so calling Japan costs you nothing extra. There are no passwords, codes or PINs to remember: dial the access number, wait for the tone, then dial 0081 and the number without its leading zero.
