When considering switching to Rakuten Mobile, many people are concerned about the signal strength and reputation. For those people, if you have a dual SIM compatible smartphone, you can add Rakuten Mobile's eSIM to test the signal strength while keeping your current carrier.

What is eSIM? What is Dual SIM?

SIM stands for Subscriber Identity Module Card, and it means "a card that identifies a subscriber." An identification number is recorded on the SIM's IC card, and when this identification number is linked to a phone number, it is activated and communication and phone calls become possible. A SIM is a physical card that can be inserted and removed from a smartphone, but an eSIM has an IC chip built into the smartphone and is integrated with it. If your phone is eSIM-compatible, you can rewrite the identification number online yourself, making the activation process quick and easy.


Benefits of eSIM

・Complete the process from contract to activation online in a short time

・No need to replace SIM cards, so there is less risk of failure

・"Dual SIM" allows you to use multiple lines



With dual SIM, you can use two phone numbers on one smartphone and use them for different purposes. As mentioned below, you can use one phone for calls and the other for data communication.



Benefits of Dual SIM

You can have two phone numbers

You can combine multiple pricing plans

・It is possible to have multiple lines to hedge against risk in the event of communication failure.



If you want to test your signal condition, take advantage of a special campaign

This is a way to test the signal by signing up for a dual SIM with the Rakuten Mobile employee referral campaign and getting 7,000 yen worth of Rakuten points. You can use these points to pay your monthly mobile phone bill, which will effectively save you money on your communication costs. For example, if you have up to 3GB of data, you can use 7,000 yen worth of Rakuten points to pay 1,078 yen x 6 months = 6,468 yen .


Best Plan Price List

Since it is a dual SIM contract, you can try out Rakuten Mobile while keeping your current line contract with docomo, au, or softbank.



Rakuten Mobile offers a flexible and economical communications environment by utilizing eSIM and dual SIM. For those considering switching mobile carriers (MNP) or those who want to review their current mobile phone charges, Rakuten Mobile is a very attractive option. Take advantage of the trial period and various campaigns to experience Rakuten Mobile's services.



The current employee referral campaign will earn you 14,000 points if you switch carriers (MNP), and 7,000 points if you don't. Customers who are renewing their contracts can also apply. Please take advantage of this offer when switching your smartphone or signing up for a new smartphone.

The author of this blog is a current Rakuten employee. In this blog, I will share my honest impressions of my mobile phone charges and signal conditions after switching from SoftBank, which I had been using since my student days, to Rakuten Mobile. I will share information on switching mobile phones (MNP), re-contracting, comparing mobile phones, mobile phone charges, model changes, campaigns, family discounts, and special offers. Currently, the employee referral campaign allows you to earn 14,000 points if you switch (MNP) and 11,000 points if you do not switch. Those who are re-contracting can also apply. Please make use of this opportunity to switch your smartphone or sign up for a new smartphone contract.
