Making international calls from Shanghai

Hi,
Does anyone know a reliable way (reasonably good reception and don't get disconnected) to make international calls from Shanghai?

I need to call Japan frequently but the quality of internet apps like Skype are not ideal and often get disconnected. Also, a lot of the time I need to call from mobile phone without internet access.

Appreciate if you can advise.

Thanks,
Jeff
