ASCII.jp Cheap SIM "y.u mobile" which became a new plan is profitable to use with dual SIM!
The first thing you should do to save your cell phone charges is to check if the plan is right for you.
Mobile phone bills have fluctuated greatly, with the introduction of new online-only price plans from the three major carriers, but first of all, the most important thing is whether the plan you are currently subscribed to is really suitable for you. I'll have to reconsider if it's a good thing.
"y.u mobile", which announced a new price reduction among cheap SIMs. Introducing its unique features!
For example, the new price plan mentioned above has a monthly communication volume of 20GB, and each carrier is also focusing on unlimited usage plans. However, it is said that there are many cases where actual users do not need it so much. Looking at the data published on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "mobile phone portal site" (https://www.soumu.go.jp/menu_seisaku/ictseisaku/keitai_denwa_portal/index.html), users are using more than 20GB per month. About 10% of users. Even if you expand it to 10 GB or more per month, it is only a little over 20%. Conversely, 2 out of 3 people use less than 5GB. Many people say that they no longer use data communication outside of their homes, as their lives are centered on telework.
From the data posted on the "Mobile Phone Portal Site" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications
The so-called low-cost SIM shows its strengths in such a low-capacity area. Even if major carriers cut prices, there is still a large price difference between plans such as 3GB and 5GB per month, and by providing services by renting the networks of major carriers, the breadth of the service area is inherited as it is.
This time, among the cheap SIMs, we focused on "y.u mobile", which was the first to announce a new rate plan in line with this spring's movement. We will introduce the convenient usage method in detail.
I'm really worried about the communication quality of cheap SIMs, but y.u mobile has a mechanism that stabilizes the speed even during lunch breaks when it's crowded
y.u mobile's rate plan is simply a "single plan" and a "share plan". Two. The single plan is mainly for single people and can use 5 GB of communication per month, 1639 yen per month (this price is voice SIM, all tax included). The share plan is for families and costs 4,378 yen per month. In addition to 20GB per month, "U-NEXT" video distribution and e-book services are also included.
y.u mobile has two price plans. First of all, we will mainly introduce the single plan of 5 GB per month. Monthly fee is 1639 yen
On the other hand, even if you know that "cheap SIMs are cheap", there are times when you are concerned about the quality of the communication line. Especially during the lunch break, when it tends to be crowded, there are voices on the Internet that videos and games are interrupted. In fact, it doesn't apply to all cheap SIMs, but you may hesitate to switch.
Y.u mobile has a strong advantage in terms of the communication quality. Y.U-mobile, which provides y.u mobile, is a telecommunications company included in USEN-NEXT HOLDINGS, but the group is developing services for corporations, and y.u mobile's lines are used here as well. Since y.u mobile's services are operated based on revenues earned from both individuals and corporations, they are able to secure sufficient bandwidth with plenty of room.
This time, we actually used an Android smartphone speed test app, and it hit a stable speed that didn't change much even during the lunch break from the early morning when there weren't many users. Even on YouTube, it was possible to watch without interruption at a sufficient 360P resolution on a smartphone.
Test result at 12 o'clock. Numbers over 20Mbps are out
This is at 21:00
Early morning at 6 o'clock, it will be even faster, partly because it is not used much
In addition to y.u mobile's unique feature "Eikyufumetsu Giga", which is rarely seen elsewhere, "repair cost insurance" that does not require additional charges
In addition, y.u mobile offers other cheap SIMs It has two unique features that you don't see very often.
The first is "Eternal Immortal Giga". The monthly 5GB of communication (so-called “giga”) that is granted every month with a single plan is automatically carried over to the next month if it is not used up. Furthermore, since the giga does not have an expiration date, it can accumulate steadily (up to 100 GB) and can be handled when a large amount of giga is needed.
In addition, if 5GB per month is not enough, you can charge more, but this is also cheap at 330 yen for 1GB or 1650 yen for 10GB. In particular, the latter 10GB and 1650 yen (165 yen per GB) giga is also subject to "eternal immortal giga", so it will not be wasted. For those who usually feel uneasy about the remaining communication volume, it is recommended to charge it all at once with a cheap 10GB.
If you run out of Giga, you can recharge. This amount is also "eternal immortal giga", so even if it is not used up, it will continue to be carried over to the next month.
The second is "repair cost insurance". If your smartphone breaks down or breaks, services that compensate for repair costs are common for both major carriers and cheap SIMs. However, it is basically an option, and an additional payment of about several hundred yen per month will occur. However, y.u mobile subscribers include this insurance as a set, and no additional charge is required.
"Repair cost insurance" comes with an additional charge, but it is OK if it is within 5 years from the release or within 1 year from the purchase. In many cases, even devices that have been used before switching to y.u mobile should be eligible.
What's more, it's also supported by smartphones that were used before subscribing to y.u mobile. ). y.u mobile is a service that makes it easy for people who want to keep their smartphones to use cheap SIMs in order to keep their mobile phone bills low, but are worried about their devices breaking down.
