How to fix SoftBank not working
SoftBank is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach softbank.jp over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not SoftBank.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While SoftBank is down: what to use instead
- Wi-Fi Use home, work, or public Wi-Fi for messaging, maps, and account pages if mobile data is the part failing.
- My SoftBank app If the website will not load but your connection works, try the app for bills, data usage, and account settings.
- Another mobile carrier If you have a second SIM or another phone, switch to NTT Docomo, au, or Rakuten Mobile until service comes back.

Tip: SoftBank doesn't list a public status page that we know of, so its help centre and the report chart on this page are the best places to check.
How we track SoftBank
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for SoftBank, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for SoftBank, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. SoftBank doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
