Cheap services provided by telecommunications carriers "AHAMO", "LINEMO", "POVO 2.0].Ahamo is NTT DOCOMO, LINEMO is SoftBank, POVO 2.0 is an MNO that can use au line directly.The main feature is that the usage fee is low, but also has excellent communication quality.

LINEMO and POVO 2.I tried to measure the speed at noon on weekdays, where the congestion of the line is expected to be the most, but both exceeded "50Mbps".It is surprising that mobile communication can give such a fast speed when crowded.It can be used without much difference when using optical communication at home.
Measure LINEMO's communication speed at 12:29 on weekdays
AHAMO is the only AHAMO yet, but I have never heard of NTT DOCOMO users about line quality.
MMD Research Institute announced on August 30, 2021 "Survey of 4 major carriers in 2021 (18 years old to 69 years old during the period from August 4 to August 6, 2021).According to a survey for 40,000 men and women), "DOCOMO" is the first in the communication quality category.And the second place is "Ahamo".
Both are docomo lines, so you can see from the survey results that the line quality is generally excellent.
Ahamo, like LINEMO's smartphone plan, can continue to communicate at a maximum "1Mbps" speed even if you use up 20GB capacity a month.During high -speed communication, you can also watch streaming videos at high resolution of full HD to 4K.
However, most smartphone displays have a full HD (exactly full HD+).Moreover, if you continue watching videos at a resolution of HD or higher, you will run out of 20GB capacity quite early.
Practical is SD (480p) resolution.The SD resolution is suitable for the screen size of the smartphone, and can be viewed relatively stably even at a maximum of 1 Mbps.
AHAMO can use a high quality line of docomo for 2,970 yen (tax included) per month, and you can watch your favorite YouTube channel throughout the moon.Moreover, it comes with "all -you -can -eat in Japan".
LINEMO, Povo 2.In the case of 0, all -you -can -eat for 5 minutes in Japan is an option, so AHAMO is basically a service suitable for "people who use the phone".
However, after 5 minutes, a call fee for "22 yen/30 seconds (tax included)" is charged separately.The calling fee for OCN Mobile ONE and IIJmio is "11 yen/30 seconds", so it is honestly expensive.If all calls can be completed within 5 minutes, the monthly fee will be 2,970 yen (tax included), but not all opponents will be "cut from 5 minutes soon".
The best way to keep the monthly usage fee of 2,970 yen (tax included) while calling as much as you want without worrying about the call time is a combination of AHAMO and Rakuten Mobile.Rakuten Mobile has a basic fee of "0 yen" up to 1GB of monthly data traffic.If you use the Rakuten Link app even though it is 0 yen, domestic calls are "unlimited".
However, Rakuten Mobile was quite late to enter a communication carrier, so only 3G frequency bands (communication bands) available are "3".The band 3 is "1".7GHz is high, so the communication speed is excellent, but it is difficult to receive radio waves in the building or in the mountains.
Originally, outside the Rakuten line area, the au's "Band 18" could be used as a partner line, but in areas with a population cover rate of Rakuten line exceeding 70 %, the provision of former partner lines for both companies has been gradually discontinued.。Currently, the Rakuten line area is steadily spreading, and the area only in the band "3" has increased over time.
From Rakuten Mobile
The minimum usage fee is 0 yen, so there is no way to complain, but it is still inconvenient that "unlimited" cannot be used in case of emergency.But that situation can be avoided.
RAKUTEN LINK can also be called on other companies' lines (it may be non-notified by Wi-Fi connection).In other words, if AHAMO is specified as "SIM for data" and Rakuten Mobile is specified as "SIM for Call", it will not be out of service.
From the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications
AHAMO and Rakuten Mobile are recommended for smartphone heavy users who love calling long and Internet.Let's enjoy smartphone life more than ever while saving communication costs within 3,000 yen!
