The greatest attraction is that these two seemingly contradictory selfishnesses are compatible.
I truly believe that there is no way to avoid using it, so I'll include a note of caution.Rakuten MobileThis section summarizes the plant characteristics of the

History of Rakuten Mobile -> docomo -> Rakuten Mobile
A remote area deep in the mountains where I used to live.
Rakuten Mobilefrom the beginning when it was first announced,This is awesome...!"I was so excited that I wrote a post about it on this blog and signed up as soon as I could.
I have been with you for about a year.
However, I was moving deep into the mountains of Shikoku, and as expected, there was no Rakuten line, nor did it seem likely to go through, so I reluctantly switched.
Three years passed from there and I moved to Nagano, and although it is in a rural area, it is within the Rakuten line with room to spare.
So, we are back to the cosmetic god, Rakuten Mobile again.
I am thankful that many things have evolved over time.
nikeAfter Rakuten Mobile started, I first tried it myself, and then I immediately recommended it to all my relatives including my family members, and they are all still using Rakuten Mobile.
Rakuten Mobile Plans｜What is the Best Plan?
Main points of Rakuten Mobile
- Only one plan, simple and cosmetic
eSIM/SIM 2 types available - Three-tier rate design (unlimited internet usage)
Cheap for the months you don't use it, about 3,000 yen max/month even if you use it to death. - Unlimited phone calls through a dedicated app.
- Unlimited use of tethering capabilities
- Free up to 2GB overseas (additional 500 yen/1GB)
- 5 times Rakuten points
Rakuten Member +1x & Rakuten Mobile SPU +4x - Completion of application in as little as 3 minutes (Transfers can take as little as 30 minutes with eSIM)

You can use more than 100 GB per month without any problem at all, unlike the cheap scams of the past, which claimed to be "unlimited" but imposed restrictions. (Of course, more than 100 GB is OK.)
Genuine unlimited
Therefore,Many people have also cancelled their home fixed line and are making do with just one Rakuten Mobile.(You can surf the Internet and watch videos at least.)
I personally find this 3-tier plan insanely attractive.
It is rather common for the price to be around $1,000 when hardly used, a figure that is not very realistic for normal use.
The point is next.
It means that 3GB to 20GB are available.
There are probably quite a few people who use a fixed line at home and can afford about this amount per month.
Even though it is ¥1,000, it is helpful to automatically save money depending on monthly usage.
On the contrary,Even if you overspend from there, it only changes $1,000.It is also powerful to see it as a
Save even more with a family discount!
If you are a relative with the same last name, you can get 100 yen/month, cheaper for all up to 20 lines!
☆ You can live in a remote location!
0 yen for administration fee and cancellation fee
Conversely, who would you not recommend Rakuten Mobile to?
Some people who are not suitable for Rakuten Mobile
- If you're saving a few thousand yen a month, or tens of thousands of yen a year, prioritize the quality of the major carriers, not money.
- Living outside the Rakuten line coverage area, or often leave it.
- I pay special attention to call quality at work, etc.
Quality that does not interfere with daily use. - Need a stable internet environment anywhere on the go
While Rakuten Mobile offers significant benefits to quite a few people, it is of course not for everyone.
The first thing to check isWhether it is within the Rakuten line area
Although the Rakuten line is a latecomer to the market, it is spreading at a rapid pace, but there are still some areas where it is not supported.
Make sure that the area of residence and the area of activity are covered.
It's hard to stabilize underground."
Some buildings are hard to connect to."
Although the situation has improved considerably compared to the past, there are still these voices.
nikeIt depends on the environment,After all, you should try it yourself first.I think.
So that I can "use it!" then Rakuten Mobile's advantages are still the strongest and the savings are overwhelming.
There are no administrative fees or cancellation fees, so it would be a shame not to try it!
Why choose Rakuten Mobile again?
There are downsides, of course...
Weaknesses of Rakuten Mobile
- Some places are out of range of Rakuten lines.
*Population coverage expanded to over 99%. - Dedicated application for unlimited calls is somewhat difficult to use and voice quality is not high
Generally no problem for everyday use. - Speeds may be unstable or difficult to connect in some locations, such as underground or inside buildings.
There is some overlap, but these disadvantages are honest.
I myself feel that the advantages are sufficiently large and overwhelming even taking these points into consideration.
If it's available, why not use it?
nikeAs I wrote on Instagram, it is too stressful to live your life worrying about the monthly Fat GB limit that is common, especially with cheap SIMs.
And because Rakuten Mobile has its own line, unlike MVNOs (which use other companies' lines), its communication speed is clearly different from other low-cost SIMs.
I think it is a good idea to try Rakuten Mobile at least once to see if it works.
If I can use my phone as much as I want while saving money with it, I'm all set (laughs).
