Frequently Asked Questions about Rakuten eSIMs
How to activate an eSIM on a Rakuten device?
Activating an eSIM on a Rakuten device is straightforward. Typically, you'll go to your phone's Settings, find the 'Cellular' or 'Network' section, and select the option to 'Add a new plan'. Your new carrier will provide a QR code that you'll scan with your phone's camera to download and activate the eSIM profile.
Can I use an eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time on my Rakuten phone?
Yes, most modern Rakuten phones with eSIM support also have a physical SIM tray, a feature known as Dual SIM, Dual Standby (DSDS). This allows you to use two different lines on one device, for example, a personal line and a work line, or a home line and a travel line.
Are all models from Rakuten eSIM compatible?
Not necessarily. While most new flagship models from Rakuten come with eSIM support, older models or region-specific variants may not. For example, iPhones in Mainland China often have two physical SIM slots instead of eSIM support. Always check the specific model and region, using our list above as a guide.
