Calling code +81

Calling code ++81 is used by 1 published destination: Japan.

Dial your international access prefix (00 in most countries, 011 in North America), then +81, then the local number with any leading trunk zero removed. On a mobile phone, type ++81 followed by the number instead.

The international dialing prefix is the sequence you dial to reach a number outside your own country. Most of the world uses 00, while North America uses 011. On a mobile phone, the + sign replaces the prefix automatically.

No. ++81 is assigned to Japan, so the country code alone identifies the destination.

A calling code routes a call to a national network across borders, while an area code routes it to a city or region inside that network. For a New York number, +1 is the calling code and 212 is the area code.
