Tower Records uses a different mechanism: \u003cstrong\u003evoice call verification\u003c\/strong\u003e. The verification matches the registered phone number against an outgoing voice call from that same number. SMS verification methods do not work for Tower Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor users with a Japanese mobile or landline number registered on a major Japanese carrier (Docomo, SoftBank, KDDI au, Rakuten Mobile), this verification works straightforwardly. For international users without a Japanese number, the bottleneck is technical: there is no way to receive an SMS code that doesn't exist, and the voice call mechanism requires a real Japanese phone number — not a virtual one, not a forwarding service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Overseas Numbers Don't Work Reliably\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTower Records' official policy page openly addresses this.
