Good morning. It’s まさきん.
I’m planning a family trip abroad, so I looked into Rakuten Mobile’s international roaming for the first time in a while.
The number of covered countries wasn’t what I remembered.
Coverage has grown to 107 countries and regions
The last time I checked, I think it was 91 countries and regions.
This time, the number had changed.
- Covers 107 countries and regions (as of April 8, 2026)
- Uruguay was the most recent addition
- Covers North America, Asia, Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa
- In-flight roaming is also supported
I knew about the service, but I didn’t realize the coverage had grown this much.

2GB free, then unlimited after that
Coverage is one thing, but it’s also worth checking how much data you actually get.
You get up to 2GB of high-speed data free every month.
Even after you go over 2GB, your connection doesn’t get cut off.
Speeds drop to a maximum of 128kbps, but you can keep using data with no cap.
If you need faster speeds, you can top up at 500 yen per 1GB.
128kbps might be just about enough for maps and messaging. It’s not really suited to watching videos or sending and receiving large images, though, so for that you’ll probably want to think about topping up.
There’s also a new in-flight roaming feature
While looking into all this, I found another feature I didn’t know about.
You can now use roaming during international flights at no extra cost.
Apparently more than 20 airlines are supported.
As someone who has paid separately for in-flight Wi-Fi on long-haul flights, I’m honestly interested.
Summary
Rakuten Mobile’s international roaming has expanded in both coverage and features without me noticing.
Some people might still have the old “91 countries and regions” figure in their heads.
If you have a trip abroad coming up, it’s a good idea to check the covered regions and conditions once before you leave.
The service details and conditions may change in the future. Before actually using it, I recommend checking the official website for the latest information.
