au's online-only plan "povo" has been renewed as "povo2.0" and will be available from September 29th. With povo 2.0, the basic charge is 0 yen, and data communication and flat-rate calls are purchased in the form of "toppings" as needed.
128kbps low-speed communication is possible without purchasing data communication capacity as a topping. The pay-as-you-go call charge is ¥22 per 30 seconds (including tax, the same shall apply hereinafter). Sending domestic SMS is 3.3 yen per message, but receiving is free. In other words, if you do not use high-speed data communication, calling (outgoing), or sending SMS, you can operate at 0 yen.
The basic charge is 0 yen, and data communication is purchased as a topping "povo2.0,"However, if you do not purchase paid toppings for more than 180 days, the service will be suspended or the contract will be terminated. Sometimes. When I checked with KDDI about the conditions for suspension of use and cancellation of the contract, they said, ``If there is no purchase of paid toppings for 180 days from the day after the expiration date of the last purchased paid topping.'' However, if the total amount of the pay-as-you-go call charge and SMS transmission charge during the period exceeds 660 yen, you do not need to purchase the topping.
Converting to call charges, it reaches 660 yen in 30 minutes, so this is a borderline. It is not necessary to purchase toppings, and there is no problem even if you charge more than 660 yen for calls and SMS every 180 days. There are no restrictions on the price of toppings, and you can purchase even one type within 180 days from the previous purchase. The cheapest at the moment is the 220 yen "smash. All-you-can-use pack (24 hours)". This is followed by 330 yen for "unlimited data use (24 hours)" and 390 yen for "additional 1 GB of data (7 days)".
Toppings that can be purchased at the momentThose who use povo2.0 on the main line or those who use a certain amount of data communication on the sub line do not need to worry about the 180-day limit. , I want to remember that it is not possible to operate at 0 yen all the time.
