Where is the coin slot?
Some phones, such as phones on the bullet train, only take telephone cards. If this is the case there is almost always a card vending machine nearby. Only designated Pay Phones will allow calls to other countries. This will be indicated by a mark on the phone and normally calling instructions. Normally to place a call you can use coins or a telephone card, however due to the phony phone cards many coins will only let you call outside of the country with coins. Credit cards are accepted in many of the newer phones in the metropolitan areas. Normally train stations and Airports are your best bet. International calls The three major international calling companies are ITJ, IDJ and KDD . To place a call, pick up the receiver and insert payment. You will NOT here a dial tone until a coin or phone card has been inserted. Then dial the access number for ITJ 0041 IDJ 0061 or KDD 001 and then dial the country code. The country code for America is 1. Then dial the area code and local number. KDD
