Introducing cheap SIM 3 great utilization techniques, such as plans that come with overwhelming cheapness and call semi-flat rate services. [List] Cheap SIM that can compete with sub-brands of 15GB 2090 yen (after discount) * Part of the article from Nikkei Trendy March 2022 is posted. See this magazine for details Mobile phone operators include not only NTT Docomo, KDDI, Softbank, and Rakuten Mobile (MNOs), but also mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) that handle "cheap SIMs". Until now, MVNOs have offered cheaper rate plans than major companies. However, major companies have started offering low prices with new plans and sub-brands, and the significance of cheap SIM's existence is fading. If you switch to MVNO now, it makes no sense unless you choose a company that has features and low prices that new plans and sub-brands do not have. The first candidate is a cheap SIM that is cheaper than the small-capacity plans of major companies. The price of 3 GB 990 yen such as LINEMO mini plan is the standard. If it is cheaper than this, it is suitable for those who want to keep the data capacity as low as possible even if it is small. In that respect, we can recommend two SIMs. Anyway, if cheapness is important, HIS mobile is the first candidate. You can use 3GB for 790 yen, which is 200 yen cheaper than povo and LINEMO. If you want to use as much data as possible while also emphasizing cheapness, nuro mobile is the second candidate. 5GB is available for 990 yen. As an oddity, there is also Center Mobile. Points can be accumulated by taking targeted actions, such as 300 points each month for Maimo Hikari contracts, and an average of 500 points for downloading game apps, and the accumulated points can be used to pay for smartphone charges at 1 point 1 yen. Normally, 3GB1408 yen looks expensive, but if you take advantage of this system, you can discount the monthly usage fee up to 0 yen. In some cases, cheaper SIMs are more profitable than medium-capacity plans of major sub-brands. UQ mobile and Ymobile are two criteria to determine. Both can use 15GB for 2090 yen as a set with the Internet line. If you add an option to add 5GB to this, you can use 20GB for 2640 yen. A candidate for a lower price than this is the case where the basic plan is simply cheaper. For example, QT mobile can use 20GB for 1870 yen. IIJmio and Excite Mobile are cheaper to add data capacity. When you run out of space, you can purchase additional storage for 220 yen per GB.
