Rakuten Mobile today announced the full-scale commercial launch of its mobile carrier service.
Alongside this announcement, the company also unveiled the enhanced “Rakuten UN-LIMIT 2.0” plan, its unlimited mobile service plan available for the monthly fee of 2,980 yen. In light of growing data demands spurred by the recent expansion of telework and online education needs, the upgraded Rakuten UN-LIMIT 2.0 plan offers customers 5GB of data per month when roaming in domestic partner areas and increases the maximum data transmission speed in these partner areas after using up the allocated 5GB to 1Mbps. Compared to the 2GB of domestic partner area data roaming and maximum 128kbps offered by the previous version of the Rakuten UN-LIMIT plan, this increase is designed to better serve customers and meet the growing demand for mobile services. The maximum 1Mbps data speed after the allotted roaming data is used up will be available from April 8, with the 5GB of roaming data becoming available from April 22, for all Rakuten UN-LIMIT customers.
The Rakuten UN-LIMIT service plan launched today offers customers unlimited data use within Rakuten network areas and unlimited domestic calls with Rakuten Link, the communication app developed by Rakuten, for a monthly fee of 2,980 yen.
Advance applications for the service plan begins today with full-scale service launching on April 8, 2020.
