Rakuten Mobile, finally Apple Watch! Phone number sharing service is also available

　Rakuten Mobile announced that it will start handling "Apple Watch Series 7", "Apple Watch Nike Series 7" and "Apple Watch SE" from Friday, March 25th.

　"Apple Watch Series 7" etc. will be on sale at Rakuten Mobile's shop / official website / official Rakuten Ichiba store from 9 am on March 25th.

　At the same time as this release, a new optional service "phone number sharing service" will be offered to iPhone customers who have subscribed to "Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI" for 550 yen per month including tax.

　It's a long-awaited feature that allows you to share one phone number with your iPhone and Apple Watch Cellular models, allowing you to make voice calls and data communications with just your Apple Watch, even if you don't have your iPhone at hand. It's convenient in situations such as leaving your iPhone a little and going for a run.

　Until now, Rakuten Mobile has only handled iPhones and peripherals, not iPads or Apple Watches. Especially for eSIM of Apple Watch Cellular, it is not possible to handle it overnight because it is necessary to support the system on the carrier side. This news seems to be long-awaited for iPhone users of Rakuten Mobile.
