Who Called Me from +81 60? Japanese 060 Numbers Explained - Mobile phone (new range, not yet in service)
A number starting with +81 60 would be the international format of Japan's new 060 mobile range. 060 was added to Japan's numbering plan in December 2024 to prepare for the exhaustion of 070/080/090 numbers, but as of August 2026 it has not yet been offered to general subscribers: the five mobile carriers announced a postponement of the launch.

Who typically calls from this range?
Because 060 numbers are not yet in service for general subscribers as of August 2026, you should not normally receive calls or SMS from +81 60. If you do see +81 60 as a caller ID, treat it with extra caution, including the possibility of caller ID spoofing.
Before you call back
Once the range launches, 060 numbers will work like other 11-digit Japanese mobile numbers. For now, we do not recommend calling back an unexpected +81 60 number.
