[Rakuten Mobile Campaign]
There are so many Rakuten Mobile campaigns
What are the benefits of other campaigns?
Other campaigns will be introduced later, so please read on if you are interested.
First of all, I will explain in detail what kind of benefits the other eight campaigns are.
Rakuten Mobile is conducting a campaign in which the monthly charge for "Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI," which can be used with unlimited data capacity, is free for three months.
I'm hungry to be able to use the internet for 3 months for free.
The monthly charge for Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI is 3,278 yen, so you can save 9,834 yen in 3 months.
[Campaign period]
[Target person]
In addition to the plan fee, the universal service fee and telephone relay service fee are also free for the three months covered by the campaign.
However, if you have applied the previous campaign that the basic charge of "Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI" will be free for one year, you will not receive this benefit.
As changed from the previous one-year free campaign, it is quite possible that it will be canceled or the benefits will change without notice.
The free period may be only one month, or the discount amount may be reduced.
If you want to apply for a 3-month monthly discount, you should apply to Rakuten Mobile as soon as possible.
Rakuten Mobile does not have a contract period, so if you want to try Rakuten Line, it is recommended to use it for only 3 months.

If you apply for Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI, you will receive 5,000 Rakuten points as a gift.
As the name "Anyone" suggests, there are many campaigns that can be used together, and the fact that it is easy to apply is also an attractive benefit.
[Campaign period]
[Target person]
In order to receive 5,000 points, you need to use the "Rakuten Link" app by 23:59 on the last day of the following month after application.
However, it's not that difficult because you only have to make a call for 10 seconds or more from the Rakuten Link app on a terminal that uses the Rakuten Mobile line.
It doesn't seem to matter if you decide to use the Rakuten Link app once as soon as it becomes available.
The Rakuten points granted will be reflected by the last day of the month following the day when the Rakuten Link app is used.
Please also note that the Rakuten points granted are valid for 6 months.
Also, please note that the benefits are not applicable if you have signed up for the second line or later, or if you have canceled Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI before.
After applying, please use the Rakuten Link app as soon as possible to ensure that you receive Rakuten points.

When switching to Rakuten Mobile, if you apply for Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI using your smartphone as it is, you will receive Rakuten points worth 15,000 yen.
Since it can be used in combination with the "Everyone's 5,000 points gift campaign", you can receive up to 20,000 Rakuten points in total.

[Target person]
To apply, you must use the Rakuten Link app by 23:59 on the last day of the following month after application.
If you make a call for 10 seconds or more from the Rakuten Link app, Rakuten points will be awarded by the last day of the following month.
Using the Rakuten Link app is also a condition for 5,000 points, so don't forget to do it.
However, please note that the 15,000 point campaign is not applicable when transferring from Rakuten Mobile (docomo line / au line), DMM Mobile, or FREETEL.
If you apply all Rakuten points worth 20,000 yen to Rakuten Mobile's monthly fee, you can use it for 6 months virtually free of charge.

[Target model]
To apply, you must use the Rakuten Link app by 23:59 on the last day of the following month after applying.
If you make a call for 10 seconds or more from the Rakuten Link app, Rakuten points will be awarded by the last day of the following month.
If you haven't purchased a set of terminals in the past, you'll be happy that you will be eligible for point redemption even after the second line.
If you can receive 25,000 points, it is equivalent to about 8 months of Rakuten Mobile's monthly fee.
The number of points returned varies depending on the device, so please refer to it when choosing a model.

During the Rakuten Mobile contract, when shopping at Rakuten Ichiba, the normal +1 times point return rate will increase.
It will be applied throughout the Rakuten Mobile contract without any special procedure, so it will be a nice benefit for those who have many opportunities to shop at Rakuten Ichiba.
[Campaign period]
[Target person]
[Target service]
However, the maximum number of Rakuten points you can earn each month is 5,000, so be careful if you have many shopping opportunities.
If you use Rakuten Mobile Carrier Payment on Android for 2,000 yen or more per month, the point return rate will increase by 0.5 times.
In addition, the return rate will increase further when combined with other Rakuten services, such as +1 times when using Rakuten Hikari and +1 times when using Rakuten Card.
If you apply all of them, it seems that the point return rate will be up to 15 times, so it's surprising.
Of course, even if you are not using other target services, please be assured that you will definitely receive a +1 times increase in the return rate.

By using Rakuten's optical line service "Rakuten Hikari" and Rakuten Mobile's Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI at the same time, you can make the basic Internet charges free for one year.
[Campaign period]
[Target person]
The basic charge for Rakuten Hikari is 3,080 yen (1st year) per month for the detached house type and 1,980 yen (1st year) per month for the condominium type.
Therefore, if you use Rakuten Mobile as a set, you can get a discount of 33,880 yen for the detached house type and 21,780 yen for the condominium type in one year.
Currently, the construction cost is free, so you can apply a discount of 19,800 yen for the detached house type and 16,500 yen for the condominium type.
You can get a big discount that the construction cost will be free!
However, if you have signed up for Rakuten Hikari first, you must complete the application for Rakuten Mobile by the 15th of the following month.
Even if you apply for Rakuten Mobile after the 16th of the following month, the Rakuten Hikari discount will not be applied, so be sure to complete the procedure early.

When you apply for Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI for the first time, you can get Rakuten points worth 15,000 yen by purchasing Rakuten Mobile's original smartphone "Rakuten Hand" at the same time.
You can also use the "Everybody's 5,000 points gift campaign" together, so you can receive up to 20,000 yen worth of Rakuten points.
[Campaign period]
[Target person]
The price of Rakuten Hand is 20,000 yen, so if you use Rakuten points for the benefits, you can get a smartphone for free.
However, the number of Rakuten Hands is limited, and it is undecided when the campaign will end.
Also, please understand that if you have applied the "Rakuten Hand 19,999 points gift campaign" in the past, it is not applicable.
To apply the benefits, you must use the Rakuten Link app by 23:59 on the last day of the following month after applying!
If you make a call from the Rakuten Link app for 10 seconds or more, you will receive up to 20,000 points by the end of the following month.
If you just want to get a smartphone cheaply, consider purchasing Rakuten Hand.

When you apply for Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI for the first time, you can purchase it for 1 yen if you apply for the WiFi router "Rakuten WiFi Pocket 2B" at the same time.
By combining the "5,000 points gift campaign for everyone" with the 3-month free benefit per month, the terminal price and usage fee will be 0 yen, so you can try Rakuten Line completely free of charge.
[Campaign period]
[Target person]
Due to the limited number of Rakuten WiFi Pocket 2B, it is unpredictable when the campaign will end.
Those who want to apply this benefit are recommended to apply as soon as possible!
If you are considering other benefits because there are many campaigns that cannot be used together for a great deal, please check once before applying.
If you are worried about whether the Rakuten line will be connected, sign up for Rakuten WiFi Pocket 2B completely free of charge and try connecting.

In this way, some of the applicable campaigns will change depending on whether or not you purchase the device at the same time with Rakuten Mobile.
Don't forget that some campaigns can only be applied using the Rakuten Link app.
Once you have decided which campaign you want to apply, let's move on to the application procedure for Rakuten Mobile.
With Rakuten Mobile, not only the benefits but also the application procedure will change depending on whether or not you purchase the device at the same time.
First of all, I will explain the application procedure of Rakuten Mobile when purchasing terminals at the same time.
In order to proceed smoothly with the application procedure, please prepare the following items in advance.
[Requirements for application]
If you want to transfer your phone number as it is when transferring, you need to obtain an MNP reservation number.
Be sure to do it when you change trains! If you have a new contract, you don't need to make an MNP reservation!
First of all, I will explain step by step from how to get the MNP reservation number.
If you want to move to Rakuten Mobile with the same phone number, get an MNP reservation number.
You can get the MNP reservation number by contacting the company you are using.
When transferring from doCoMo, au or SoftBank, contact the following window.
| Career | window | Reception time |
|---|---|---|
| DoCoMo | My docomo | 24hours |
| DoCoMo mobile phone: 151 Landline phone: 0120-800-000 | 9: 00-20: 00 | |

The MNP reservation number has an expiration date of 15 days from the time of acquisition.

Once you get your MNP reservation number, we recommend that you apply for Rakuten Mobile as soon as possible!

If you want to buy at a good price, we recommend choosing a device with a high Rakuten point return amount.

[NanoSIM line switching procedure]
[ESIM line switching procedure]
If you purchased your device from Rakuten Mobile, you do not need to set APN.
If you get a new phone number, you can use it immediately by connecting to the Rakuten line.
Depending on the campaign, you may need to use the Rakuten Link app to apply.
If you make a call from Rakuten Link for 10 seconds or more, the applicable conditions are cleared.
If you apply only for SIM, check if your device can be used on the "Check the compatibility of your product" page on the Rakuten Mobile official website.
After confirming that your device is compatible with Rakuten Mobile, prepare the following items to facilitate the procedure.
[Requirements for application]
As mentioned above, you need to obtain an MNP reservation number when transferring.
However, before that, SIM lock may be applied depending on the terminal, so let's complete the unlock procedure first.
If the device you are using has a SIM lock, you must unlock it with each carrier.
If you purchased a smartphone from another company at an auction or a second-hand shop, you may need to unlock the SIM, so be sure to check it.
SIM-free terminals and terminals purchased from Rakuten Mobile do not need to unlock the SIM.
If you are using docomo / au / SoftBank, you can easily unlock the SIM by accessing the WEB or the store.
For doCoMo smartphones, you can also complete the procedure by phone.
Please note that a fee of 3,300 yen will be charged if you perform the SIM unlock procedure at the store!
Unless you really want to go through the procedure at the store, we basically recommend the procedure online.
If you want to switch to Rakuten Mobile without changing your phone number, you need to get an MNP reservation number.
The method for obtaining the MNP reservation number is as I mentioned earlier, so please refer to "[Purchase a device] Rakuten Mobile's advantageous application procedure".
After unlocking the SIM and getting the MNP reservation number, access the official website of Rakuten Mobile and proceed to the application procedure.
To apply for Rakuten Mobile using only SIM, follow the procedure below.
[SIM-only Rakuten Mobile application procedure]
You will receive a confirmation email after completing your application, so please read it to make sure there are no mistakes.

When you receive the SIM card, remove the old SIM card from your device and replace it.

After logging in to "my Rakuten Mobile", you can use the Internet by completing the opening procedure.
Please refer to "[Terminal purchase] Rakuten Mobile's advantageous application procedure" for how to switch lines.
If the APN setting is not completed automatically, you need to complete the procedure manually.
