Since the end of last year, mobile companies have been launching a new rate plan and existing plans for existing plans since the end of last year to eliminate the conventional "complex and high" image.Depending on the business operator, the price may be reduced again to compete with other companies' follow -up plans.Many people are confused by the plan, saying, "It's going to be a great deal, but I'm not sure which one suits me."
Here, based on the trends and questionnaire results of each company's new rate plan, we analyze what plans can be said to be really advantageous.I will introduce the perfect plan to you who are worried.
Originally, this new rate plan appeared due to the request of the government to reduce mobile phone charges.In particular, it was a problem that the large capacity plan was high in comparison with the world, and major carriers such as NTT DOCOMO announced a low -priced plan of 20 giga capacity 20 giga in response to the point.Later, reasonable plans have appeared one after another from MVNO (also called cheap SIMs).
Due to such circumstances, the number of new rate plans of each company is based on data capacity 20 giga.However, 20 giga is a data capacity that can be watched for about 40 hours in standard image quality videos.If you use it in general, you often have too much.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications also pointed out that "40 % or more of users of four major mobile phones have a contract for more than 20 giga per month, but about 10 % actually use more than 20 giga."We recommend that you choose a price plan that suits your usage.
However, there are many parts that are difficult to imagine how much data capacity is actually required.20 Even if you don't need giga, how many giga do you need? 10 Giga? 5 Giga? Or even less OK?
Therefore, this time, we conducted a questionnaire for about 1,500 Mynavi News members, and investigated the average of the communication amount used every month on mobile phones (smartphones) used in the main.The result is the next graph.
As pointed out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications shows less than 10 % of those who use more than 20 giga data.About 15 % even if all 10 giga is all together.After all, it seems that most people do not need data capacity such as 10 giga or 20 giga.
If you look in more detail, you can see that nearly half of them use less than 2 giga.The most surprising thing is that about 30 % of people use less than 1 giga.The effects of the fact that they are often connected to Wi-Fi at home due to work from home, and the use of use to save data capacity by connecting to free Wi-Fi in the city is also affected.I guess it's done.
From the questionnaire, you can see that there is a mountain in 2-5 giga and 10 to 20 giga.The median value is likely to be one of the data usage.In other words, if you use it while saving, less than 2 giga, if you use it in general, 3 to 4 giga, and if you use a video viewing to some extent, it will be difficult to waste it if you choose a plan based on 15 giga.
Depending on the mobile company, there is a new rate plan that allows you to select the data capacity according to the amount you use.Among them, IIJmio's "Giga Plan" is recommended.
IIJmioは、インターネット草創期からの長い実績のある電気通信事業者のIIJ(インターネットイニシアティブ)が展開している格安SIMサービス。高い技術力に基づく安定した通信やわかりやすい料金プラン、充実した機能や端末ラインナップ、手厚いサポートなどが支持され、国内MVNO市場においてSIM契約回線数シェア3年連続1位を達成※している 。
Giga Plan is a price plan that IIJmio will start on April 1st.You can choose the one that is suitable for you from the five data capacity of 2 giga, 4 giga, 8 giga, 15 giga, and 20 giga.The communication line can be selected from two types, type D (NTT DOCOMO LTE/3G net) and type A (au 4G LTE net) (data dedicated SIM and ESIM are only type D).The major feature is that the stable communication line of a major carrier can be used cheaply according to the data capacity.
For example, in the case of a voice SIM corresponding to data communication and voice calls, it costs 858 yen for 2 giga, 1078 yen for 4 giga, 1,518 yen for 8 giga, 1,848 yen for 15 giga, and 2,068 yen for 20 giga (eventually).Also tax included).Considering that the major carrier 20 Giga Plan is around 2,500 yen, you can see the low price.In addition, if you do not need a voice call, you can use it even cheaper by selecting SIMs with SMS functions and data communication dedicated SIMs.
It is also attractive to be able to carry over to the next month if the data capacity is not used up and is left over.Conversely, if you are not enough, you can add 220 yen (tax included) per giga.
The service will start from June, but a "data capacity share" function that allows you to share data capacity within the contract group is also available.If you use this, even if your family has contracted a separate plan, everyone can share the data capacity together.
Let's give an example and explain to make it easier to imagine the monthly fee.
First, in the case of a single person.Mobile communications are limited to work at home and at work, only when commuting or going out in private, and does not use much data capacity.Therefore, we want to keep the monthly fee of smartphones as much as possible.However, voice calls are required for work.
In this case, it is recommended to contract a 2 giga plan of voice SIM.The basic monthly fee is 858 yen (tax included).
Next, the family, mother, high school son, and junior high school daughter.My father uses both calls and data communication, but my mother is a general usage.My son does not use calls to exchange messages on LINE and SMS, but the data traffic is a little large because he is addicted to the game.My daughter is used to interact with my family and friends on SNS.
In this case, the following plans are considered.
The whole family costs 5,159 yen (tax included).Moreover, if you use the "data capacity share", everyone can share the data capacity of 15 + 4 + 8 + 2 = 29 giga.Therefore, even if the children say that they are likely to exceed the data capacity because they use too much, they do not have to pay an additional fee within 29 giga.It is a great help for households.
ギガプランのPOINT!!● You can choose a price plan that matches your own! Unlike the new plan of a major carrier, IIJmio's Giga Plan is from 2 giga to 20 giga 2,068 yen (tax included), from 5 capacity zones to you.You can select a matching price plan.
● SIM functions can be selected !! There is SIM with SMS function and SIM exclusively for data, so it can be used not only for smartphone use but also on devices such as tablets, notebook PCs, and mobile routers.
● Giga can be used without waste with the share function! If you contract with your family, you can use the data without waste.(Scheduled to start offering in June 2021)
The IIJMIO plan has been a simple and conscientious price structure for a long time, but it has become more affordable with gigaplan.
From April 1st, the start of the new plan, the more advantageous “Giga Plan Memorial Campaign” will begin.One is that the initial cost will be 1 yen when a Giga Plan contract for all SIM functions, all capacity zone.It is thankful that the hurdle is low at once.
The other is that when you apply for a Giga Plan MNP line and campaign terminal as a set, the terminal will be offered at a special price.Popular models such as Huawei's "nova lite 3+" and Xiaomi "REDMI 9T" are lined up on the campaign device.
As the new rate plan is messed up, the appeal of IIJmio's plans that suits me is even more shining.If you are worried, why not take this opportunity to switch to IIJmio's Giga Plan?
