Docomo's Ahamo Moves To Three Tiers As 40GB Price Rises To 3,135 Yen
Ahamo launched as a single simple price, and the August data increase to 40GB now reads as the run-up to a price rise rather than a giveaway.

NTT docomo will restructure its online-only ahamo plan into three tiers on December 1. The 40GB tier costs 3,135 yen per month, up 165 yen from the current 2,970 yen. The 60GB tier is 4,125 yen and the 120GB tier is 5,115 yen, with users able to set a cap at each level. Overseas roaming data rises from 30GB to 40GB.
The August "Data Increase Trial Campaign" that lifted ahamo to 40GB looks like the groundwork for the increase. Ahamo started at 20GB for 2,970 yen, then moved to 30GB in October 2024 at the same price before the August bump to 40GB. The Omori Option ends with the renewal, and ahamo Point Activity will apply to users on 60GB to 120GB. Reward rates in Bakuage Selection rise, with Netflix going from 10 percent to 20 percent, which the article notes can offset the higher fee for subscribers.
