After all, I want to use "povo 2.0" on the iPad ...
I immediately signed up for "povo2.0", which started on September 29th, and set up an eSIM on my iPad mini (6th generation).
After confirming your identity, you can activate the SIM to set up eSIM. If you look around, it seems that 080 and 070 numbers are evenly distributed.On the day of the event, I tried to apply around 9:00, but it seems that the reception was concentrated and the screen did not proceed as expected. After a while, the application was completed without any problems. It took about 4 hours from receipt of identity verification documents to completion.
The iPad series is not included in the povo2.0 compatible terminals (operation confirmation terminals), and according to the support chat, "povo2.0 is a service for mobile phones", so on the iPad use is not supported.
The application process requires identity verification by eKYC, and this system (LIQUID eKYC) is also not compatible with iPadOS. In addition, the procedure for opening the connection states that a "outgoing call test" should be performed, but since the iPad does not support calls in the first place, this cannot be performed either.
Apply with another device and read the QR code for settings with your iPad You can download the APN configuration profile from the povo2.0 official website and make settingsHowever, the eSIM settings themselves read the QR code You can do it by normal procedure. However, since the antenna pictogram does not stand up with this, it is necessary to manually set the APN, but data communication is now possible just by downloading and installing the APN configuration profile from the povo2.0 official website. In addition, the pictogram display was "au" instead of "povo".
When there is no topping (the remaining amount of data communication is zero), only low-speed communication of up to 128kbps is possibleIn this way, povo 2.0 can be used without any problems even on iPads whose operation has not been officially confirmed ( calls). However, I usually use a SIM card from Data Plus (NTT DoCoMo) because I use it at my own risk.
With povo2.0, the basic charge is 0 yen, and it seems that it has become easier to operate by purchasing and using the necessary data capacity when necessary. Is it like a prepaid SIM as a sense? Until a few years ago, when I traveled overseas, I followed similar steps to get an internet environment, so I feel somewhat nostalgic. On the Internet, I had the impression that there were quite a few users who said, "I want to use only data with povo 2.0!"
