GAPSIS editorial department July 30, 2021 By clarifying that the cheap SIM / smartphone service "mineo" will handle the handling of the middle-spec 5G smartphone "Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G" with excellent cost performance from August 2nd. Finally, all the major cheap SIMs are available.

It supports 5G, "Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G", memory 6GB, storage 128GB, refresh rate 90Hz compatible, and while equipped with an organic EL display with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 dots, it can be purchased from about 20,000 yen by using campaigns etc. The Mi 11 Lite 5G is extremely popular, but this time I would like to compare the selling prices of each company. I want to buy it as cheaply as possible. First of all, the cheapest SIM companies that offer discounts / points redemption by selling as a set with SIM cards and voice call services are the cheapest. However, if you purchase only the terminal and prepare a voice call service separately, it will become a home electronics mass retailer and a mail order site. .. I would like to take a look at each one below.
Cheap SIM / smartphone prices, etc.
OCN Mobile ONE
At the cheap SIM "OCN Mobile ONE" operated by NTT Communications, a release commemorative sale will be held for two weeks from the release date of Mi 11 Lite 5G, and it does not matter whether it is new or MNP (transfer from another company). Under the conditions, it was a special price of 20,000 yen (tax included, same below). Currently, the release commemorative sale has ended, and the regular sale campaign for the entire "OCN Mobile ONE" is underway, and the standard price is 33,591 yen, but MNP will be 19,291 yen. Furthermore, if you subscribe to the paid option "OCN Denwa Complete All-you-can-eat" at the same time, the price will drop to 17,091 yen. However, "OCN Denwa Complete All-you-can-eat" is a monthly service of 1,430 yen, so it may be troublesome to subscribe just for a discount if you don't need it. Nonetheless, there is also a campaign for "OCN Denwa Complete All-you-can-eat" that costs 1,100 yen per month for up to 12 months, so you can save some money. The appeal of "OCN Mobile ONE" is that MNP can still reduce the terminal fee to 19,291 yen, the basic rate plan for communication services is the lowest in the industry, and the communication quality is the lowest among cheap SIM services. It's a good point.

There are not so many cheap SIMs that you can subscribe with peace of mind and can use without stress, so you should consider including communication services considering that you will use it for a long time, and from that point as well, "OCN Mobile ONE" will be the most promising candidate. think. Especially, I think the communication speed is fast and stable. At least in the living area of the northwestern part of Chiba prefecture where I live. Also, please note that an additional initial cost of 3,733 yen will be incurred. If this amount is added, in the case of MNP, it will be 19,291 yen + 3,733 yen = 23,024 yen. → OCN Mobile ONE official website
BIGLOBE mobile
"BIGLOBE Mobile" operated by BIGLOBE is also on a par with "OCN Mobile ONE" and "IIJmio" in terms of cost, but it is a little complicated because it is not a discount but a point return and it is a combination of multiple campaigns. Something may be a bottleneck. I have already subscribed to "OCN Mobile ONE" and "BIGLOBE Mobile", but I think BIGLOBE Mobile is a little difficult to understand. However, it is certainly cheap, and one of the attractions is that the point redemption conditions are not limited to MNP. You can receive points even with regular new contracts. The terminal price of Mi 11 Lite 5G is 37,680 yen excluding tax and 41,448 yen including tax. Since the return points cannot be applied to the terminal fee, you will actually pay 41,448 yen for the Mi 11 Lite 5G terminal fee. Of course, it can be divided 24 times, so the monthly fee is 1,727 yen. However, since there is a return of 20,000 points for "G points", the actual amount equivalent to 20,000 yen will be returned. Many people may not be familiar with G points, but they can be exchanged for points from other companies, Amazon gift certificates, and can be used to pay for BIGLOBE mobile communication costs, so it is particularly difficult to use. I don't think it will happen. In addition, BIGLOBE Mobile will incur an initial cost of 3,733 yen, just like "OCN Mobile ONE". And as for the communication plan, in the case of BIGLOBE Mobile, the basic charge of the plan itself is higher than that of "OCN Mobile ONE" and "IIJmio". However, there is a one-year discount campaign, which is as cheap as both companies for at least one year. Specifically, the voice plan with 1GB of data traffic usually goes from 1,078 yen to 770 yen per month, the 3GB plan usually goes from 1,320 yen to 770 yen, and the 6GB plan usually goes from 1,870 yen to 1,320 yen. The 3GB plan and the 1GB plan will be the same amount after the campaign is applied, so if you are in the 1GB plan for at least the first year, the 3GB plan is better. And there is another campaign where the paid option "Entertainment Free Option" will be free for up to 6 months. The entertainment-free option is usually 308 yen per month, and the traffic of the target entertainment services such as "YouTube", "Spotify", and "ABEMA" is not counted. It should be noted that not all communications are covered, such as viewing in high resolution such as HD and full HD, but it is convenient to actually use it. After all, in the case of BIGLOBE Mobile, it is important to note that it is not a simple discount but a point return, and that the communication plan fee is not the same as other companies as standard and it will be cheaper for one year depending on the campaign. → BIGLOBE mobile official website
IIJmio
IIJmio, like "OCN Mobile ONE", also offers discounts for MNP. The standard price is 19,980 yen instead of 38,000 yen. Also, since we are currently conducting a campaign where the initial cost will be 1 yen, I think that IIJmio is the cheapest in the case of MNP for the total initial cost including the terminal fee so far. As for the price plan, IIJmio is as cheap as "OCN Mobile ONE". However, if the amount of communication used is small, "OCN Mobile ONE" is cheaper. Because, "OCN Mobile ONE" has a lineup of 1GB plan, 3GB plan, 6GB plan, 10GB plan from the bottom, 1GB plan is 770 yen per month, but IIJmio is 2GB plan, 4GB plan, 8GB plan, 15GB plan, 20GB The amount of data for the plans and each plan is slightly large. Still, the 2GB plan costs 858 yen per month. Both companies can carry over the remainder of the data amount to the next month, so if the monthly usage data amount is about 1GB, I think that "OCN Mobile ONE" can be a 1GB plan. However, if you have the possibility of using 1.5GB to over 2GB, IIJmio's 2GB plan may be more suitable. → IIJmio official website
mineo
Compared to "OCN Mobile ONE" and "IIJmio", the user scale of mineo is not that large, and I think it is difficult to give discounts to the above three companies in terms of terminal sales measures, and in fact it has become so. There is. However, there may be a sale campaign, so it may be a good idea to wait for it, but I don't know when. For the time being, the terminal price is 40,920 yen. The charge for the communication plan is 1,298 yen per month for a 1GB voice call plan, which is higher than that of major companies. For that reason, mineo has been devised in terms of functions / services, such as "packet gift" to share with family and friends, "packet share" to share with groups, "free tank" and "chip" to share with mineo users, etc. Features / services are available, and if you start thinking about joining with multiple people instead of one person, it may become a powerful option. → mineo official page
Summary of cheap SIM comparison
Considering the four points of discount, point redemption, communication plan fee, and communication quality, "OCN Mobile ONE" is not the cheapest, but it is excellent overall, so I think that many people will be the first choice. I think the runner-up is BIGLOBE Mobile and IIJmio. I think that mineo will be a candidate if you look at the entire service, including various functions / optional services, but if you want to subscribe alone or buy one by yourself, 3 It will be more expensive than the company. Also, in the case of BIGLOBE Mobile, you can purchase at any time until the stock runs out, but once it is sold out, you will not be able to purchase it for a while until the next arrival, which is a so-called general sales style, but "OCN Mobile ONE" and " "IIJmio" may take the form of selling a certain number and then temporarily displaying "out of stock" and resuming sales the next day, or selling a certain number and then temporarily "out of stock" and reselling the next day. Therefore, please note that you should check the official website regularly even if you encounter an out-of-stock condition. However, the difficult thing is that the sales format may differ depending on the model, or it may change from the middle, so I think it's better to check it regularly to some extent.
Mass retailers / mail order, etc.
Regarding mass retailers and mail-order sites, it is on sale at many mail-order sites such as Yodobashi, Bic Camera, Kojima, Yamada Denki, Nojima, Amazon, Hikari TV Shopping, etc. It seems that there are many lines such as 40,000 yen. Therefore, I think it will be a comparison that includes whether or not you have subscribed to the extended warranty service, points of return, whether or not the store you are familiar with, and the goodness of after-sales service in the event of initial failure or failure. I don't think there is a big discount sale that can be mentioned. At best, it will be a cashback campaign when the target cheap SIM contract is made as a set at Hikari TV shopping. There is a 12,000 yen cashback campaign for "nuro mobile" subscriptions and a 18,000 yen cashback benefit campaign for "OCN mobile ONE". → Hikari TV Shopping → Amazon / Mi 11 Lite 5G Product Page In fact, Xiaomi will announce a new product on August 2nd. We don't know what's coming out at this point, but it's possible that there will be smartphones that you'll want to compare to the Mi 11 Lite 5G and the April release of the Redmi Note 10 Pro. I think it's good to wait for the announcement and make a comparative study including new products.Information source, reference link OCN Mobile ONE official site IIJmio official site BIGLOBE mobile official site mineo official page Search for articles of related genres Mi 11 Lite 5GXiaomi Sale / campaign information Share cheap SIM / smartphone articles on SNS etc.
