CN Playguide Japan Phone Verification — Voice Call Verification Service

Quick answer: CN Playguide (CNプレイガイド) requires phone-number authentication for membership registration — and it is not SMS. You register a phone number, then place a call from that same number to the number shown on screen, within the displayed time limit, with caller ID visible. Overseas phone numbers cannot complete this authentication.

This service provides a dedicated Japanese number for one supported CN Playguide verification request and completes the authentication call in coordination with you. Once verified, your membership is active for CN Playguide's presales, lotteries and general sales.

• Dedicated Japanese number: provided for one supported CN Playguide verification request.
• Caller-ID authentication handled: the verification call is placed from the registered number as part of the service.
• One-time verification: CN Playguide's own FAQ confirms re-authentication is not needed unless the registered number changes — verify once, then apply for tickets as a member.
• One verification request per order: this is not an ongoing phone-number service.
• No account password required: you operate your CN Playguide account yourself.

How CN Playguide Phone Verification Works

1. Register a phone number — CN Playguide requires phone-number authentication to complete membership registration, which is needed before ticket applications.
2. Call the displayed number — after submitting your details, CN Playguide displays an authentication number. The call must be placed from the registered phone number, with caller ID enabled, within the displayed time window.
3. Authentication completes automatically — CN Playguide matches the incoming caller ID against the registered number and the screen updates when verification succeeds.

This is the same caller-ID authentication family used by Ticket Pia and Tower Records, and is different from SMS verification: no code is sent to the phone. Learn how CN Playguide's caller-ID authentication works →

CN Playguide Phone Number Requirements

• Japanese phone number: required — overseas phone numbers cannot complete the authentication.
• Voice-call capability: required; numbers without calling capability cannot authenticate.
• Caller ID: must be visible — calls with number withholding fail the check.
• One number, one membership: a phone number can authenticate one CN Playguide account — which is why a recycled or shared number, already tied to someone else's membership, fails verification. Our numbers are new and dedicated to your order.

When to Use This Service

• CN Playguide asks you to complete phone-number authentication during membership registration.
• You want to apply for tickets sold through CN Playguide — including presales and lotteries — and registration is blocked at the phone-authentication step.
• You need one supported verification request, not an ongoing Japanese phone number.

Standard vs Express Delivery

Standard Delivery

Your order is handled in the normal processing queue. Choose Standard Delivery when the verification is not time-sensitive.

Express Delivery

Your order receives priority handling for faster processing — useful ahead of presale or lottery deadlines. Express Delivery affects our processing priority only and does not change CN Playguide's verification requirements.

Important Service Limits

• One order covers one supported CN Playguide phone-verification request.
• The supplied number is retired after completion and is not an ongoing phone-number service.
• Later re-authentication requests (for example, after changing registered details) are not included.
• Ticket availability, lottery results, payment and membership decisions are controlled by CN Playguide.

Refunds

This is a digitally delivered verification service. If the supported CN Playguide verification step cannot be completed due to a service-side issue, contact us and we will review the case for a refund. Completed verifications are generally non-refundable, and CN Playguide platform-side restrictions or requirements are outside the service scope. Full details: Refund Policy.
