How to Automatically Switch Mobile Lines When You Arrive at a Specific Location on iPhone

How to Automatically Switch Mobile Lines When You Arrive at a Specific Location on iPhone

My family's Rakuten Mobile encountered a problem where it lost signal at work.

While I like Rakuten Mobile itself, it's inconvenient that it doesn't connect at my desk, so I added a low-cost SIM with a Docomo line called 'LinksMate' and set up dual SIM.

You can find more details about it here.

Please refer to it if you like. I was able to add the line in about 30 minutes.

Now, I can communicate by switching to the Docomo line at work. I'll explain how to set up an automation to automatically switch lines when your iPhone arrives at or leaves a specific location!

Create Automation

Create an automation in the iOS 'Shortcuts' app.

If you've deleted it, please install it.

Tap 'Arrive'

(We'll also create one for 'Depart' later)

Tap 'Location'

iOS Automation Location

Set the location where you want to switch lines on the map.
It will be executed when you enter this blue frame.

The blue circular boundary is a minimum radius of 100m

The maximum seems to be infinitely configurable. (It can still expand)

Once the location is set, choose either 'Run After Confirmation' or 'Run Immediately' and tap 'Next'

Tap 'Create New Shortcut'

Search for 'Line' and tap 'Set Default Line'

Set 'Default Data Line to LinksMate' and tap 'Done' in the top right.

Select the line you want to use at a specific location, such as your workplace.

With this, the automation for when you arrive at your workplace is complete.

Similarly, create an automation to switch to 'Rakuten' when you depart from a specific location.

Thus, creating a shortcut to switch to Rakuten is complete.

Select the line you want to use when you leave a specific location, such as your workplace.

That's how to set up an automation to automatically switch your mobile data line when your iPhone arrives at a specific location, such as your workplace.

I hope this helps as a solution for the problem of Rakuten Mobile losing signal.

Rakuten Mobile x LinksMate is quite a recommended combination, so please refer to it if you like.

I was able to add a sub-line in about 30 minutes.
