Rakuten Mobile's "Free Supporter Program"!"Fast if it is connected" ...: Rakuten MNO real report (1) (page 1/2)

　On October 1, Rakuten Mobile's MNO (mobile phone operator) service started.I have been using it as a "free supporter" since October 19.It's been the third day since I started using it, so I can't say it's good or bad, but let me give you a frank impression, such as the background until opening and the first impression of connecting.In the future, we will continue to report reports that use Rakuten lines as soon as possible as a free supporter.

Four days after the winning notification, the information arrived and applied for SIM and terminal ...

　The application period for "free supporter program" is from October 1 to 7.I applied on October 1 and received a winning notification on October 11.The total number of applications has not been announced, but it seems that there were more than 5,000 applications on October 1st alone, so I think it was a reasonable magnification.It seems that there were more people around me who said "lost" than those who "won".

　I thought I could do the procedure right away and started using it in a few days, so I didn't go that smoothly.In the case of the author, it was only 20:00 on October 15 that the guidance on the free supporter program contract procedure was arrived.Early in the morning of the 16th, I accessed the web page guided and proceeded with the procedure.

　The free supporter program lives in the 23 wards of Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Kobe, and is 18 years old or older, and is a new or MNP for Rakuten Mobile.Domestic and overseas data communication is unlimited (100GB + additional charge free), and domestic and international calls can be used unlimitedly.Instead, you have to cooperate with quality tests and questionnaires.The period is until March 31, 2020.In effect, it should be considered as a monitor for the test service for this service that starts next spring.

　The only plan provided by the free supporter program is the "100GB free plan", but you need to select and join the optional service.For the time being, I chose only those that can be used for free.The terminal needs to prepare a "program target product", and many of the people who have won the free supporters have purchased it.

　The author also ordered a terminal at the same time as the contract procedure.I chose "Huawei P30 Lite".Since I wanted a model that could insert two SIMs, I was narrowed down to two units, "Oppo Reno A 128GB" or Huawei P30 Lite, but unfortunately Reno A selected Huawei P30 Lite with "no stock".The terminal price was selected from 24 or 48 installments.

　The SIM phone number can be selected from the three displayed numbers, but you can also use the "selected phone number service" (1000 yen) that allows you to specify the lower four digits yourself.Finally, since the desired date and time was specified, the next day, "October 17 14: 00-16: 00" was specified.

Only SIM arrived first, and inquiry chat was not connected ...

　The next day, at the time I wanted, a thin envelope arrived from Rakuten Mobile.When I opened it, it contained a SIM card and a leaflet called "START GUIDE".I heard from the acquaintance who won that the terminal and SIM arrived together, but it seems that only the SIM arrived first.

　The SIM card is a multi -size specification that allows you to remove the size you use.There was also a SIM pin with the Rakuten logo.When I checked later, if I applied for the service (SIM) and terminal at the same time, it seems that this SIM pin does not have.I failed to order the terminal, but as a result I was lucky because I was able to get this SIM pin.

　When will your smartphone arrive?When I accessed the support page "My Rakuten Mobile" and confirmed it, it was "preparing for shipping".But the SIM has already arrived.Does this mean that the terminal is preparing for shipment?I tried an inquiry by chat, but it seemed to be crowded and there was no response ...

　When I searched Twitter to see if there was a similar situation, I was there.There was quite a lot.I was going to order a terminal, but I found that there were quite a few people who did not enter the cart and only received SIM.I ordered a terminal again on the 17th, and at around 22:30 on the 18th, I received a "Notice of Completion of Product Shipping", and finally received Huawei P30 Lite on the 19th.
