Rakuten Mobile publishes APN information for users who use the company's line with other companies' products. In the case of Android smartphones sold by Rakuten Mobile, Internet connection settings are automatically completed, so users do not need to set APN.
Rakuten Mobile GuideWhen using an iPhone or an Android smartphone not sold by Rakuten Mobile, it is necessary to manually set the APN. However, devices not handled by Rakuten Mobile are not covered by the operation guarantee. Also, in the case of iPhone, iOS 13.3.1. or later requires the voice call setting to be "VoLTE on", and it has been confirmed that iPhone X and earlier models do not work.
Of course, when inserting a Rakuten Mobile SIM into another company's product, it is necessary to unlock the SIM.
Some SIM lock-free terminals from Sharp, OPPO, and Huawei can be used without the need for APN settings by updating the software to support Rakuten lines, but this is also not covered by the operation guarantee.
Rakuten Mobile's APN information is as follows.
As a trial, when I set the above APN information on au's "Xperia 1 SOV40" (SIM unlocked), data communication and calls were performed without problems. Rakuten Mobile's message app "Rakuten Link" was also installed and used from Google Play.
