This is based on the premise of a call from your mother to you in the United States. Have you heard of Skype numbers? When you sign up for Skype for $ 6 per month, you get a Japanese number starting with 050, and when you call that number from a landline ／ cell phone in Japan, the call will be placed to your Skype （ US ）. The caller pays the same rate as a regular phone call. However, this contract is only available to residents of Japan, so you must use your mother's address to sign up with your Skype ID. However, since your Skype ID is registered with a U.S. address, you will be charged approximately $ 6 per month. If you can get your mother to get a new Japanese Skype ID, you can sign up under her name and pay only 300 yen/month. However, since I have not tried this method, I cannot guarantee that you will be able to receive Skype calls on the same US phone using your mother's Skype ID. I assume you are using （ to call a Japanese fixed ／ mobile number on Skype from the US, but skype out ） $ 5 for 165 minutes. Call quality has always been fine. I have never used a calling card so I don't know much about it.

KDDI ended prepaid cards for international calls at the end of October. So it seems that sales at convenience stores have been scaled back.
My parents have been using it for many years, but I took the plunge and bought a tablet in Hawaii, installed Line, and sent it to Japan.

Off topic, does your mother have a Galaga Kei? ？
I used to buy phone cards from Amazon. I bought it and had it mailed to my parents in Japan.
The brand is called Icom.
I just looked at it and it is for sale, so if you have a Galaga, you can use it ？


Next, about the phone card I bought in the US.
If the connection is to a toll free in the US, such as 1-800.

If you call a toll-free number in the U.S. from Japan, you will hear an announcement in English saying, "The number you call will be charged regular international rates from overseas, so if you still want to call, just keep waiting …. It is as the announcement says. （ However, from cheap IP phones, you may not get an announcement, and you may be charged for the call ）

Depending on the type of calling card, the access line may be in another country, not only in the U.S., so please check the URL on your calling card. If your calling card has a URL, you may be able to find the access number for Japan if you access it once and check.
If there is an access line from Japan, it is often for international toll-free numbers starting with 00531.

You are worried because you can't even go back to your hometown in Corona in the middle of the day. I hope you find a good solution😊.

Sorry
I don't know if this answers your question, but when my mother has something urgent or something she wants to talk to me about, I ask her to hang up and I call her back.
This way I don't burden my mother at all 😊.

My parents also have only a mobile phone and appliances, so I have them do the same as #5 Hawaii and have them do "one hangup" and I call them on my LINE phone to their appliances. line phones are cheap.

For your information

Thank you for your answers.
I will let my mother choose from your answers.
I am currently using a callback system, but I would like to know if there is a calling card that my mother used to use, and what kind of tools other elderly people use to contact people overseas.
Thank you so much for your help. Thank you very much.

When I entered a museum, they gave brochures to everyone but me, but for some reason they didn't request them or feel their presence and I would think "That ？ .... No, it's my imagination ？" at times. I often think that perhaps my intentions are not being conveyed because my voice is not very loud to begin with and I am wearing a mask even more. Although it has been only one year since I came to the U.S., I felt that people here communicate with their eyes, or in a style that is a little unfamiliar to us Japanese. I am wondering if this is the way to be buried. However, it is my own interpretation, but I feel that I am less likely to be asked for money on the street than people of other races. I think they probably don't know how to treat me and just pass me by. lol Overall, I feel that there are many kind people here, so it's no wonder that some people treat me a little differently. Incidentally, my husband is a foreigner, and he has felt a lot of discomfort in Asian countries (including Japan, of course). I guess it is the same everywhere.

Mr. Horo
Yes ！ that's it ！ that's exactly what it is. I feel like I'm feeling it, and I feel like I'm mistaken. It's like.
But the frequency of that has increased. I try to be as open as possible, but it still breaks my heart when they ignore me. I want to be nice to them, but I wonder if I am bothering them.
I am becoming more and more shy, but after reading your post, I decided to be open and honest. I will try to keep a balance.

That was hard for you. My daughter also had a case where she was the only one who didn't get trick or treat candy. She is only 2 years old, so I don't think she really understood what was going on, but it was heartbreaking.
If your husband has been in Asia, I'm sure he has felt the same way. If you're an ethnic group that doesn't speak English, I'm sure you'd feel extra soppy when you saw your husband. Overall, it's true that most people are kind ！ I have to see the good side too.

As Yumiko said, I think it's great that you are trying to keep a balance. However, when people ignore you, it can really break your heart, can't it? But when I deal with various people at work, I think that there must be people who don't have enough room in their hearts to be kind to others. I try to think that when I meet someone who is cold, after I happen to experience something unpleasant, or when I am very busy, I lose my meticulousness towards people, and I think that everyone has that kind of thing （ lol ）. Well, whether it's right or wrong, I feel like I'm happier when I think that way. But I think it's also important to be firm when you are treated unfairly, overtly. I hope that other Asian people in particular will not have to go through the same experience, even if only a little bit. It is difficult in many ways, but let's do our best.

Due to the ongoing WWII Japanese American internment system, there were no or few Japanese American communities in the U.S. Instead, when I arrived here in 2004, it was Chinatown in Oakland that accepted me.

To be honest, class cleansing in Chinatown has been going on at least since just after World War II, and violence against Asians has been going on since the end of the Edo period when Asians first came to the US. Asians and Asian Americans have been fighting since then. But no one accepted Asians. To create an image of a race that "obeys whites with an open heart." My church--a temple--decided to call it a "church" even though it was a Buddhist temple during the incarceration era. Before that, Buddhist Nikkei were arrested by the FBI and others, like Muslims these days--I learned that kind of history in the Buddhist ・ Church ・ of ・ Oakland.

California, and Chinatown, you know, started long before I first came here--the Asian elderly always going missing.

Asians, especially Asian women but also men, being singled out for sexual/domestic violence.

If we even try to say a word about all of this to non-Asians, we are called liars and subjected to further verbal and physical violence. They will tell you that they have never been called a liar, and they will say they have never been called a liar.

The only thing that changed was that for a moment the media acknowledged our suffering. It was only for a moment, but because of that we could fight it for a long time.

I joined the civilian patrol in Oakland Chinatown a few months ago. Asians are always laughed at by the police - so Asians facing domestic violence, who lost their beautiful apartment in 2014 and are in debt that cannot be exceeded by $21,000, are "not real cases". \It's not a real case...(I'm male, but I'm a gender crosser, and the police didn't know me that well...) but Asians can now protect their community.

And then I joined a group to restore the original Chinatown.

I can't say I'm fluent in Cantonese, and I don't feel lonely here because there are so few Japanese, but we are all ＊ the same person ＊ and Chinatown has been a kind place for me for many years with no community and no living family. I have no community, no living family. So I think we should all grab each other's hands and fight the hate.

To the Japanese in NY, I am very quiet and surprised about this matter. The cost of living for the two of you is not out in the open, as the living fund and security costs come out of the diplomatic secret funds. The NY consulate also has a department in charge of Miko.
In Japan, there is a huge control of speech, and the truth is not being reported properly.
I wonder if it is only a matter of time before the NY consulate monitors this site and deletes it.
