I look forward to working with you.
Today, I got an iPhone 12 Pro Max at Softbank.I've been replacing my iPhone every two years, but last time I was iPhone XS.At that time, I signed a "half price support+" contract.
And this time, I decided to buy an iPhone 12 Pro Max at once (over 150,000 yen), and I held my credit card with a trembling hand, but as a result, I purchased it with "Toko Support+".Both have different names, but are almost the same.
I think that many people who want to buy a new iPhone at Softbank may be wondering whether to buy them all at once or buy with "Toko support+", so why I try to buy with "support+".I would like to write if I thought.
Payment method that the payment amount is actually half price
"Support+" is a system that purchases smartphones 48 times.Two years after the contract, the installment balance will be exempted when the next model is changed.To put it simply, you can get a smartphone at the maximum price.
For example, if the iPhone itself is 100,000 yen, if you change the model at SoftBank after 24 months, the remaining 50,000 yen will be exempted.At that time, the old model will be returned to Softbank.Of course, you can also apply "support+" for models other than the iPhone (excluding some terminals).
Case that does not matter with "Toku Support+"
It will be an installment payment, but there is no interest.It feels like a good thing to think so, but in some cases it is not.
First of all, it is necessary to return the terminals used when changing the model, so it is not suitable for those who want to keep their favorite smartphones at hand.Of course, if you pay the balance at once, you can leave it at hand, but the advantage of "support+" is not used.
In addition, it is necessary to continue using SoftBank for 4 years to purchase the main unit for 4 years.However, SoftBank's line contract is canceled for free and can be performed at any time.In that case, keep paying the main unit or pay the remaining amount at once.If you change your career frequently, you may want to buy a SIM -free smartphone.
Well, for those who do not change their careers frequently, I think that "support+" is a good service.
Precautions when changing models with "Toko Support+"
As mentioned earlier, "Support+" is a mechanism that exempts the balance of installments by returning the terminal to SoftBank when the model is changed.However, there are some points to note.That is "when the iPhone is broken."
Actually, my iPhone XS, the display is cracked ...I've dropped it many times.In that case, I knew in advance that the repair price would be charged separately, so I wondered how much it was and decided to change the model.
As a result, the iPhone XS with cracks on my display will be charged 2,000 yen.
In fact, the additional charge for damaged is reduced if you join the "Anshin Guarantee Pack with Applecare Services".I didn't know that, so when the shop told me, "It's 2,000 yen," I thought it was a mistake.But it was good for 2,000 yen.real.
Somehow a great "Toko Support+"
To briefly summarize "support+"
・ Purchase the main unit 48 times
・ If you change the model at SoftBank after 24 months, you will be exempt from the remaining amount (up to half price exemption)
・ Returns old models (you can leave it if you pay the remaining amount)
・ If the return model is damaged, a separate repair fee will be charged.
That means.For example, if you want to keep an old terminal at hand when changing the model for 24 months, it is OK if you pay the remaining amount at once.
I thought a bit that I didn't want to be tied to Softbank for four years, but if I thought about it, I haven't changed my career once, and even if I pay in a lump, I will change the model again at the next Softbank.I didn't find any benefits to purchasing in a lump -sum payment, so this time I came to the conclusion that I bought it with "Toko Support+" (I also referred to the store clerk's story quite a bit).
If you intend to continue using SoftBank lines for a while, I think "Toko Support+" is really a great deal.
Conversely, if you want to change to a new model every year or not, you don't want to be tied to your career, you should buy a SIM -free version and use various SIM cards.
So, if you are wondering if you are wondering if you want to buy it using "Support+", "I think it would be nice if you plan to contract at Softbank in the future."
Well, let's set up iPhone 12 Pro Max from now on!
