Looks like Japan Post doesn’t require a phone number, but the card delivery apparently takes 1-2 weeks via hand delivered post?
Are there any that give me the card on the same day as applying and don’t require a phone number? Also I saw some have a requirement of having been here at least 6 month and I just arrived last week.
I have my address on my foreigner card
I’m trying to sign up for a phone number, but they require a Japanese bank account…

Use your work/school phone number to open the account.
You should be able to register a bank account rather than a credit or debit card so just go for the japan post one
I was able to get a phone number before signing up for a bank. Go to a Bic Camera in a popular area (I went to the Bic in Ginza) and they had English speaking staff who were able to set me up with Y Mobile, making payments with my foreign credit card. Be sure to bring your passport and your Zairyu card that has your Japanese address on it. Good luck!
