Good morning. It’s まさきん.
I often hear people around me say they are worried about Rakuten Mobile’s signal.
When I found out there is a tool you can use to check before signing up, I went and tried it myself.
You can check the signal at your exact home address, even before signing up
The tool is called “My Area Connectivity Simulation (myエリア 通信シミュレーション).”
- Check the signal at specific places you use often, like your home or workplace
- See coverage for 4G LTE, 5G Sub6, and 5G millimeter wave
- Available even before you apply
- No login or account registration needed
For me, the biggest reassurance is that you can use it before committing to a contract.
Clicking this opens the Rakuten login page. Once you log in, you’ll see the campaign details.
Coverage by prefecture and third-party ratings are also available
Looking through the whole page, I found other information as well.
Coverage information is organized for each of the 47 prefectures.
There are also network quality ratings from Opensignal, a third-party organization.
The simulation is only meant as a rough guide. Actual signal can apparently vary depending on the building structure and the surrounding environment, so it is best treated as reference information.
The page also covers how they respond during disasters and what they have done to keep connections stable during big events.
Summary
Honestly, I had no idea there was a tool for checking home signal before signing up, so I was pleasantly surprised.
Since anyone can use it without logging in, it is an easy thing to try if you are concerned.
If you are thinking about Rakuten Mobile, give it a quick check before you sign up.
The tool and its accuracy may change in the future. I recommend checking the latest official information before making your final decision.
