Hey All

I am a young guy going to Japan/Asia for the first time on business. If I want to call home to family and friends what is the best (i.e. most cost effective) way? Is there a calling card or dialing code I should know about. Is calling from the hotel phone going to be expensive?

Thanks!

I'm not sure to what extent you'll get stung when calling from a hotel though. My solution was to rent a Japanese cell phone and give my family the global call card details so they could call me (you don't pay to recieve calls on a cell phone in Japan).
