The postpaid, AEON exclusive b-mobile SIMs now support voice. The terms are the same as the AEON data-only SIMs: residency required and payment via credit card. A 1-year contract is required, but it does not automatically renew. No microSIM are available.
Current users of AEON data-only plans won't be able to continue using the same SIM card.
From the product page, here is a table showing the potential pricing.
Total minimum monthly cost
| Voice Plan S | Voice Plan M | Voice Plan L | |
| 1,290円 | 2,100円 | 3,675円 | ||
| Data Plan A | 980円 | 2,270円 | 3,080円 | 4,655円 |
| Data Plan B | 2,980円 | 4,270円 | 5,080円 | 6,655円 |
| Data Plan C | 4,980円 | 6,270円 | 7,080円 | 8,655円 |
I think there is a typo in the overview as Plan B is 400kbps not 100kbps as stated in the post.
ReplyDeletecopy and paste fail. fixed.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a breath of fresh air! I am tired of my iPhone and will probably only be in Japan for maybe a year and a half longer (less than a 2 year contract). I would really like to import a Galaxy note and use that as a phone. Could I cancel my Softbank contract when it is up in March or April and then get a sim from Aeon and put it in my Galaxy note and be able to use both voice and data? When you say that it doesn't auto renew, do you need to renew after one year or does it just continue pay as you go with no cancellation penalties? Thanks for the advice!
ReplyDeleteYes you can do that, though the only payment option is by credit card. AFAIK, foreign cards are OK.
ReplyDeleteYes, it becomes a pay as you go (monthly post paid) with no penalty for cancelation. I am pretty sure the don't prorate if you cancel in the middle of a month, though.
Hi, I have three questions at the moment I was hoping someone could help me with:
ReplyDeleteWhat happens after the first 1.2GB of data is spent in Data Plan C?
Can you could cut the SIM to work on an iPhone 4(S) - assuming it's cut properly?
And finally, the credit card requirement also applies to voice plans on B-Mobile right?
Thanks :)
