Recontracting is also eligible for the campaign

Those who have previously used Rakuten Mobile are also eligible for this campaign. Recontracting-targeted campaigns are rare in Rakuten Mobile, making this a valuable opportunity.

A Rakuten card in your own name is required, but no identification documents need to be submitted, making it easy to contract.

This plan is perfect for those who want to test connectivity within their living area, or for those who use a lot of data for tethering and streaming videos.
It supports eSIM, so it is recommended to use dual SIMs on your current smartphone.

The home router Rakuten Turbo, which can be used immediately without installation, is part of the campaign.
It is the perfect home router for those who want a Wi-Fi environment at home right away.
