NTT Docomo to Raise Prices on Discontinued Plans and Docomo Mini
Docomo is repricing both its small-data tier and the plans it has closed to new subscribers, and the discounts attached to Docomo mini2 mean the headline price is no longer what most users pay.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
NTT Docomo will raise monthly prices by 110 to 550 yen on plans that no longer accept new applications, including eximo and 5G Gigaho, with the increases starting in December. Docomo mini becomes Docomo mini2 in December, moving to 3,278 yen for up to 6GB and 4,598 yen for up to 12GB, with new family discounts under Minna Docomo Wari. Overseas roaming on Docomo MAX and ahamo expands from 30GB to 40GB.
Docomo mini stops accepting new applications at the end of November, and existing users stay on it after the switch to Docomo mini2. The old two-tier structure of 2,750 yen for up to 4GB and 3,850 yen for up to 10GB is replaced by 3,278 yen for up to 6GB and 4,598 yen for up to 12GB. Discounts under Minna Docomo Wari, which the plan did not have before, bring the two tiers down to 858 yen and 2,178 yen if all of them apply.
Also from December, a new discount for users aged 60 and over on Docomo MAX runs for up to three months. Roaming data on Docomo MAX and ahamo goes from 30GB to 40GB, and an Overseas Data Communication Days Addition Option allows use beyond the previous 15 days per month for 980 yen per day within that 40GB.
