NTT docomo, KDDI, Okinawa Cellular Telephone, SoftBank, and Rakuten Mobile will launch “JAPAN Roaming” on April 1st to provide alternative means of communication during emergencies.
Even if a large-scale disaster or outage renders the contracted carrier’s communication services unavailable, this service will serve as an alternative, allowing users to utilize some of the communication services of other carriers.
If the user’s smartphone supports this service, it will automatically connect to the network of another carrier.
