Quick note on changing/activating a new SIM card on NTT Docomo...
... when switching to a new phone
So I changed my "Smart Phone" from nasty domestic to nasty Korean brand.I ordered everything through the Docomo Online shop, which was a challenge by itself (J-IT Mess).
The new phone arrived with a new SIM in the right physical form factor (Nano), I thought there would be some kind of automatic or semi-automatic switch-over, but apparently that was not the case.
I tried my luck reading through the instructions on how to do this online, but I could not get this figured out. I cannot see any point in the "Online Contract Change" or however one would translate this.
After calling support, all that needed to be done was:
- Call 1580 from the new phone (which has the new SIM inserted obviously).
- Then enter the Network-Anshin-Bango followed by #-sign.
- Then confirm with '1' and '#' and voila - done.
So maybe this helps somebody.
