 Recently, I often hear the word "ESIM" over my smartphone.FAV-LOG also publishes an article that explains what ESIM is in November 2020.

 Among the carriers (MNOs) that build their own mobile phone networks, Rakuten Mobile is the first to support ESIM.With the current price plan "Rakuten Un-Limit VI", users can issue ESIM instead of ordinary "SIM cards".

 The advantage of ESIM is that it can be used immediately after the contract procedure is completed, but there are some points to note.In this article, I will introduce the procedure to start using ESIM in Rakuten Mobile and start using it.It includes a little difficult explanation, but I hope it will be helpful for those who are interested in ESIM.

 If you use ESIM on Rakuten Mobile, be careful of the following points.

( * 1) If a new contract is made at the store, the clerk will perform the writing operation.In addition, some ESIM -compatible Android devices can write ESIM using the "My Rakuten Mobile" app.

 If you apply for a new Rakuten Mobile (including MNP) online, proceed with the following procedure.In addition, it is necessary to register "Rakuten Member" to apply for Rakuten Mobile.

 If you install a new contract procedure after installing the My Rakuten Mobile App on your smartphone, you can perform EKYC (identity verification by electronic method).If you proceed with EKYC, the contract procedure will be completed on the day when the procedure is completed in the shortest time, and you can download ESIM.If you just want to use ESIM anyway, we recommend that you go on your smartphone.

 The following procedure is the first procedure for a new contract of Rakuten Un-Limit VI, including MNP.Users who have already contracted Rakuten Un-Limit VI may have some different procedures.

  1. my 楽天モバイルアプリをスマホインストールする(Android/iOS版)
  2. 位置情報の取得に関する許可/拒否を設定する
  3. 「新規お申し込み」をタップ
  4. 「プランを選択する」をタップ
  5. 必要なオプションサービスを選択する
  6. SIMタイプで「eSIM」を選択する
  7. 申し込み内容を確認したら「製品を選択する」(スマホをセットで買う場合)または「この内容で次へ進む」(eSIMのみ必要な場合)をタップする
  8. 購入するスマホを選択する(スマホをセットで買う場合)
  9. 楽天会員でログインするか、楽天会員登録を行う
  10. 契約者情報が正しいことを確認したら、本人確認方法を選択する
  11. 画面の表示に従って契約手続きを完了させる

 If you confirm your identity in EKYC, you will receive an email saying "[Rakuten Mobile] ESIM Profile Download request".When this email arrives, write ESIM in the procedure described later.

 If you select a way to verify your identity other than EKYC, "START GUIDE" will be mailed to the contract address after the contract is concluded.Read the QR code listed in Start Guide, complete the identity verification, and then write ESIM in the procedure described later.

 The procedure for processing with a web browser such as a personal computer is basically the same as the app (no app installed).Please proceed with the application site.

 However, when using a web browser, EKYC cannot be used, so it takes days to download ESIM.Please be careful.
