For foreigners starting a new life in Japan, the communication environment is a crucial factor that significantly affects the quality of life. In Japan, smartphone usage is very high for navigation with map apps, using translation tools, contacting family and friends, gathering information on social media, and watching videos for entertainment. However, living while constantly worrying about data usage can be stressful. Have you ever been afraid of a high communication bill or frustrated by speed restrictions at the end of the month?

Rakuten Mobile’s “Rakuten Saikyo Plan” (Strongest Plan) solves all such communication-related concerns, offering the “strongest” solution for foreigners to enjoy a stress-free daily life in Japan. Free from worries about communication costs, Rakuten Saikyo Plan strongly supports you to enjoy life in Japan more freely and comfortably.

Stress Caused by Communication Cost Worries for Foreigners

In typical mobile phone plans, data capacity often has a limit, and exceeding it incurs additional charges or drastically slows down communication speed. For foreigners, this can be a particular source of significant stress due to the following points:

• Insufficient data capacity: Due to unfamiliarity with Japanese geography, map apps and translation apps are used frequently, leading to higher data consumption.
• High additional charges: Additional charges for exceeding data capacity can be unexpected expenses, straining household budgets.
• Communication speed restrictions: When speed restrictions are imposed, information gathering and communication can be hindered, potentially making it difficult to respond in emergencies.
• Complexity of pricing plans: It can be difficult to choose a suitable plan from a variety of options, making it hard to find the optimal plan.

How Rakuten Saikyo Plan Solves Communication Concerns

The Rakuten Saikyo Plan is designed to fundamentally resolve these communication-related concerns.

1. Unlimited data usage! All-you-can-use data:
   The biggest feature of the Rakuten Saikyo Plan is that there is no upper limit on data usage. No matter how much you use the internet, there will be no additional charges or speed restrictions (for fair service provision, speed restrictions may apply during network congestion or if a large amount of data is used within a certain period, but this rarely affects normal use). You can use your smartphone as much as you like for map apps, video streaming, video calls, social media, etc., without worrying about data consumption. This frees you from the stress of constantly checking data remaining and allows you to enjoy life in Japan with peace of mind.
2. Simple and easy-to-understand pricing system, pay only for what you use:
   The Rakuten Saikyo Plan is a simple, single plan where the fee changes in three stages according to the amount of data used:
   • Up to 3GB: Available at a low cost
   • Over 3GB to 20GB: Medium charge
   • Over 20GB: Fixed maximum charge, no matter how much you use
     This straightforward pricing system eliminates the need to worry about complex plan choices and makes it easy to predict monthly communication costs. Foreigners can start using the service with peace of mind, without needing a deep understanding of Japanese pricing plans.
3. Free domestic and international calls with Rakuten Link app:
   By using the Rakuten Link app, you can make not only domestic calls but also international calls to some countries/regions for free. For foreigners who want to frequently contact family and friends in their home country, eliminating worries about high international call charges is a huge benefit. It removes not only language barriers but also communication cost barriers, helping you maintain connections with loved ones.
4. Advantageous overseas usage:
   The Rakuten Saikyo Plan includes “Overseas Roaming,” which allows up to 2GB of data usage per month overseas for free. Even when returning home temporarily or traveling abroad, you can use your smartphone without the hassle of changing SIM cards. You can respond smoothly to sudden business trips or travels without worrying about the communication environment.
5. Even more advantageous with Rakuten Ecosystem integration:
   Rakuten Mobile users can easily accumulate Rakuten Points through shopping on Rakuten Ichiba, using Rakuten Card, etc. Accumulated points can also be used to pay the monthly fees for the Rakuten Saikyo Plan. This can further reduce effective communication costs, making your entire life in Japan more economical.
