How to Register Rakuten Pocket WiFi
Requirements for registering Rakuten Pocket WiFi:
Stay duration of at least 1 year.
Have a bank account or credit card.
Have a Rakuten account; if you don't have one, you can press this link to register.
Step 1: Visit the registration link here.
Step 2: Click on "[プランを選択する]" to select the Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI plan.
Step 3: Choose the type of SIM card and service.
Here you need to select the type of SIM card and service you want to register for. There are 2 types of SIM cards to choose from: nanoSIM and eSIM:
- nanoSIM is a standard physical SIM card with the smallest size among current SIM card types. It is designed to be inserted directly into the SIM slot of mobile phones, tablets, or other mobile devices to connect to the mobile network and use communication services, internet access, and other features depending on the network provided.
- eSIM (Embedded SIM) is a type of SIM card that is already integrated into mobile phones, tablets, or other mobile devices. Unlike physical SIM cards (such as nanoSIM), eSIM does not need to be replaced or manually inserted. Instead, eSIM information is stored directly in the device's memory.
Since you want to register a SIM card for use with pocket WiFi, you need to choose the nanoSIM type because pocket WiFi does not support eSIM.
Regarding services, if you don't have any special requirements, you should choose the default settings to save monthly costs. After completing your selection, press "[製品選択へ進む]" to proceed to selecting the device you want to purchase along with the SIM card.
Step 4: Select to purchase additional pocket WiFi.
