zdlfskdladealijfsxdfk 0 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I found out yesterday that the basic docomo monthly charges have been cut 50% - but you need to actually apply for it to be valid. It's really easy to do, just phone them up (151) and it takes a few minutes, can be done over the phone. On the plan I'm on, I'll be saving just nearly 1500 yen a month. That sounds like a few beers to me. I think the only possibly minus is that if you quit within 2 years, you will need to pay some charge. Not sure of the details of that. I just thought I would share this for anyone with a docomo keitai and not aware of this cost saving. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 The others must have done it as well. Good that the prices are going down though. Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Found out this is for a 2 year contract. If you cancel before then you are charged something like 9000 yen. (maybe that depends on which contract you get). Probably not a big issue for most people changing over. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Looks like the other carriers are doing the same thing. Softbank and AU are, go check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
