CELLPHONE: Voicemailbox

[Voice sample for Ash. His accent's a little milder than this, having softened in the US.]

If you've used his number in the current incarnation of Digilife, it's probably his American one:
[English.] Hi, you've reached Ash Ward. I'll be in Japan until February 10th; after that I'll be back in Australia. Please update your contacts lists: My Australian number is +61 04 XXXX XXXX. If it really can't wait, my number in Japan is +81 80 XXXX XXXX [Japanese characters may recognize this as a Tokyo cellphone number]. I can't get messages on this number until I'm next in the US, which won't be until July. Please, update your contacts; again my Australian number is +61 04 XXXX XXXX. Thanks. [Beep! But listen to the boy, he's not going to get any messages on this until July.]

Australian number:
[English; mostly General Australian accent but going slightly midwestern American.] Hi, you've reached Ash Ward. Leave your name and number after the beep and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks! [Beep!]

Did you seriously just try his Japanese number:
[Japanese, with a mildly American accent. His Japan pavilion friends were right.] Hi, you've reached Ash Ward. I'm at home in Australia now; please update your contacts lists: My Australian number is +61 04 XXXX XXXX. Again, my Australian number is +61 04 XXXX XXXX. Thanks! [Beep!]

MAILBOX

Ash is awkward enough to have three potential addresses: His home in Australia, Chatham Square in Florida, and his host family in Shinjuku. So if you've sent it to Japan, it's gonna take another week to get forwarded on to him; to Florida, probably another two...
