Finally improved to SoftBank's Android SIM.It can be used on other terminals such as the iPhone, but the problem is also good !!

　SoftBank's "SIM problem".It seems that improvement has been added to the Android SIM.

　SoftBank's Android SIM, which is a main brand contract, has confirmed that it can now be communicated on your favorite terminal.I was able to communicate with SIM -free Android devices other than Android at the time of purchase and on the iPhone.

　Until now, SoftBank has subdivided the type of SIM card (according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to "20 types"), and the replacement was inconvenient, and it was necessary to enter a reissue fee and a private APN.In particular, I think that the specification of "I can't use the SIM card properly without purchasing an iPhone" was a big problem.We are strongly criticized in our magazine.

　Later, SoftBank stated that it would improve.

　And this time, there is no announcement from SoftBank yet, but I confirmed on the writer owner terminal that the SIM for Android can now be used on the desired terminal.SIM -free Android terminals can be used by entering APN for Y! Mobile.

　When inserted into pixel, Y! Mobile's APN was applied immediately.Tethering is also possible with tethering options.

　You can use it by installing an APN configuration profile for Y! Mobile on your iPhone.At first, only 3G was connected, but after restarting and using it for a while, it was connected as 4G/5g.

　Until now, the iPhone SIM card could be used on the iPhone, as well as in the Android, so it could be used by entering a private APN JPSPIR.With this, there is a possibility that SIM cards can be replaced for both Android and iPhone.

　The caveat is tethering.Even if the tethering option was attached, the tethering was unable to use the Android SIM card into the iPhone, as if the sim card for the iPhone was inserted into the pixel, even if the Android SIM card was inserted into the iPhone.

　In this case, tethering will not be possible even if you pay the tethering fee every month.

　In the first place, in the past, it was charged for communication devices and acts, but there was also a background that was charged for the communication volume, so it was set up with an old mechanism that charged the tethering act, which is a device.I feel a great discomfort in the situation that hinders the use of.I feel that it is appropriate to abolish the tethering option itself.

　There are some of these problems, but it can be improved by applying the Y! Mobile mechanism.I would like to expect that there will be an official announcement around the problem of tethering.We hope to improve the service quality suitable for the separation era, which can use the contracted SIM on your favorite terminal.
