What is the discount of the iPhone SE with a "batch of 10 yen" and a discount that exceeds 20,000 yen?(Page 1/3)

　The discount battle of the "iPhone SE (2nd generation)" by mobile carriers is overheating.At one of the electronics retailers, DOCOMO, au, and Softbank careers have conducted a campaign for "MNP for 10 yen" as a discount for Saturdays and Sundays in September.

　Interestingly, this iPhone SE discount is partly applied to the "single purchase without a communication contract".In recent campaigns for iPhone SEs, even if you purchase a single terminal, a discount of about 30,000 yen is often applied.At first glance, I searched for a sales form that had no merit for major carriers.

Significant discount of overheated iPhone SE

　From around July 2021, there will be stores that sell large discounts such as "30,000 yen discount on terminals alone" for some models such as iPhone SEs, mainly on Saturdays and Sundays.

　This discount is a two -stage configuration, and at a store, a discount of about 30,000 yen even if you purchase a single terminal, and if you transfer MNP, the discount amount will be added, and finally the price of the iPhone SE body.However, guidance such as price reduction sales to prices such as "lump -sum 10 yen" will be given.

　In fact, when selling on a single terminal, there is almost no merit of discounting the mobile carrier side to be sold.The reason why a mobile carrier discounts a smartphone is to get a new contract and make a continuous revenue.Even if the terminal is sold alone, if you do not use the line, you will only accumulate the deficit.

　In that sense, the discount condition of the iPhone SE "30,000 yen discount on the terminal alone" looks like a strange campaign with no merit on the sales side.

What is "terminal purchase"?

　As mentioned above, a major carrier store can purchase only smartphones without a line contract.This is a procedure called "mobile goods sales", "terminal sales", or "white rom sales", which is different from the conventional model change.Let's briefly explain the actual procedure below.

　The purchase procedure is not much different from buying a mobile phone in a major carrier.If you tell us that you want to buy it on a single terminal, you will check the presence or absence of stock, then listen to the explanation of important matters at the counter and write the application documents.

　DOCOMO, au, and SoftBank careers are both sold in bulk sales and installment contracts (installment payments), and the commission at the time of purchase is free.If you wish, you can unlock for free.

　The specific procedure method is different for each company, but it is less time -consuming than a normal mobile phone contract.The simplest thing is to pay the lump in au, and you can buy a smartphone as if you were purchasing a normal home appliance product without being asked for the buyer's information.

　In SoftBank, the number of mobile phone numbers "contract management number" is issued, and contract documents can be downloaded with My SoftBank.For this reason, identity verification is necessary.

　NTT DOCOMO also has a dedicated procedure for purchasing a single terminal.However, if some discounts are applied, an internal processing is performed in which the format of the "new contract" and cancel the line contract after the discount is applied.According to the DOCOMO Public Relations Department, this response is a provisional response due to system development, and is considering early system response to resolve in the future.

[Correction: At 9:00 on October 21, 2021, it was said to be "internal processing to make a line contract after the discount is applied", but correctly, "internal internal contract is canceled after the discount is applied.It was "processing".I will make corrections.]

　The procedure for selling this mobile item has been requested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to maintain each carrier, and in principle, mobile carriers cannot refuse this procedure.
