## Description

**My 050** is a cost-effective phone service that enables you to make cheap calls to landlines and mobile phones in Japan and internationally. Key features include unlimited free calls between My 050 users, free access to 0120 Free Dial numbers, and the ability to receive free calls from any phone.

Additional perks for 050 number holders include a call forwarding service that directs calls to any number inside or outside Japan. Users can add credits easily via credit card, PayPal, or convenience stores, accessing some of the lowest calling rates available. Note that obtaining a 050 number requires valid personal identification in Japan. Users who cannot provide identification can still open a Brastel account without a 050 number but will incur call charges for all calls.
