If you get the Skype number(050-xxxxxxxxxxxxx), you can call directly from your Japanese phone to a U.S. cell phone. See the URL below. However, $ 52/y payment is required. Also, you need to have a Japanese address to purchase the service. This service is for Japan only and only for receiving calls.

Another option is to get Brastel's 050 number. See the following URL.

This service is free as long as you don't call out. It is especially useful when calling 0120 numbers. However, when you call a Brastel 050 number from a Japanese phone, sometimes it calls the cell phone application properly and sometimes it does not, and there are stability problems, so I mainly use the Skype number for receiving calls only.

Thanks for your answer.

Actually, every time I log in to do web business, I receive a text to verify my identity.

Can I receive texts with my skype number ？

I have a Japanese address. I would like to get a Skype number if I can receive texts for a yearly fee $ 52.

Please let me know if you know. Please do.

I use Google FI, which allows calls and WIFI in 200 countries with a US SIM
but when I bring it to Japan, can I receive calls in Japan with a US phone number ？ I never thought of that.

I have never tried it, but I believe the Skype number is for calls only and not for SMS. I checked the Microsoft article; SMS authentication is a headache for those living abroad. Furthermore, Japanese SMS authentication is usually set up assuming a valid cell phone number in Japan, so I think it may be impossible from this point of view. （ Personal Opinion ）

Thanks again for your reply.
I asked Skype. I asked Skype about it, but they said I can't receive SMS after all.
I could receive SMS from my Japanese cell phone in the US if I set up a VPN in Japan, but I am considering cancelling it because the communication fee of my Japanese cell phone has become too expensive.
