You can set it up yourself by following the instructions below.
Note: It is recommended to perform the setup steps while connected to Wi-Fi.

1. Setting Up a SoftBank Data SIM on iPhone

Step 1: Insert the SIM Card and Check the Signal

Insert the SoftBank Data SIM into your iPhone, then check the signal bars on the screen.

  • If the signal bars appear normally: proceed to the next step.

  • If there is no signal: remove and reinsert the SIM card. If the issue persists, please contact Sky Mobile staff for further inspection and assistance.

Step 2: Check the SIM Configuration on Your Device

Before installing a new configuration, check whether your iPhone already has a previous SIM configuration installed.

  • If there is no existing configuration: proceed to Step 3.

  • If an old configuration is installed: delete it before installing the new one.

Follow this path:
Settings → General → VPN & Device Management → Select the configuration profile to delete → Delete Profile.

Step 3: Download the SIM Configuration

Use Wi-Fi to access the SIM configuration download link.
When a confirmation message appears asking whether you want to download the configuration profile, select "Allow" to continue.

Step 4: Install the Configuration

After the configuration has been downloaded successfully, follow these steps:

  • Return to the iPhone home screen.

  • Go to Settings → General → VPN & Device Management.

  • Find "Downloaded Profile".

  • Select "APN-SB-NEW" or "SB APN for Unlocked iPhone ver2.0".

  • Tap "Install" in the upper-right corner.

  • Enter your iPhone passcode if prompted, then tap "Install" to continue.

  • Tap "Install" once again.

  • Tap "Done" in the upper-right corner to complete the installation.

Step 5: Connect to the Internet

After completing the installation, turn off Wi-Fi and wait a few minutes for the phone to connect to the mobile network.
If the SIM is recognized and the configuration is correct, the device should be able to access the Internet using mobile data.

2. Setting Up a SoftBank Data SIM on Android

Step 1: Check the APN

On your Android phone, go to:
Mobile Network → Access Point Names (APN)

If "SOFTBANK 4G" is already listed, simply select this configuration.
If it is not available, create a new APN and enter the information in Step 2.

Step 2: Enter the APN Settings

Enter the following configuration details:

  • Name: softbank

  • APN: plus.4g

  • Username: plus

  • Password: 4g
