How to Send an iMessage to Japan: Simple Steps for iPhone Users
To send an iMessage to someone in Japan, the process is rather simple. You must have the Japanese phone number of your contact, which will start with the country code +81. The recipient must also have an iPhone with iMessage turned on to send the message as an iMessage, instead of a regular SMS message. As long as you and the recipient are sending iMessages (not SMS messages), sending and receiving messages is completely free.
Things You Should Know
  • Enter Japan's country code (+81) followed by a phone number to begin sending an iMessage to Japan.
  • The Japanese number must belong to an iPhone user for the message to go though as an iMessage.
  • Tap the blue arrow to send the message to its Japanese recipient.

Open the Messages app. It's the green speech bubble icon located on your iPhone's home screen.

Tap the new message button. It's the pencil and paper icon in the top right corner of the Messages screen.

Type in "+." Doing so will automatically fill out your country's exit code, and you'll want to do this if you're sending a message from outside of Japan. Alternatively, you can type in your full country exit code. Check http://www.howtocallabroad.com/codes.html for a list of all the country codes.

Type in "81." 81 is the Japanese country code.

Type in a person's phone number.

Tap the message field. It's the blank field just above the right side of the keyboard.

Type in your message.

Tap the blue up arrow to send. Your iMessage will be sent to your recipient in Japan!
