On December 18, NTT DoCoMo announced the new “5G Gigaho Premier” and “Gigaho Premier” rate plans, which revised the rates of the large capacity plan that had been announced for some time.

Speaking of the company’s new rate plan, “ahamo”, which has a monthly data capacity of 20GB for 2,980 yen per month and allows you to use free calls in 5 minutes as many times as you want, it has been drawing attention since it was announced on December 3. There is.

In this article, we will examine “how does the new rate plan compare to ahamo”, while many users who currently use docomo, as well as other companies, say “I want to switch to ahamo”.

New “ahamo”

New Premier Rate Plan

Compare “Premier” and “ahamo”

First, we will check the prices and service content of the newly announced “5G Gigaho Premier”, “Gigaho Premier” and “ahamo”.

Ahamo’s monthly cheapness stands out without any discounts.

Additionally, ahamo also comes with a “flat rate for calls within 5 minutes”, so you can’t miss out on the benefits in addition to the data capacity and monthly fee.

However, it cannot be overlooked that the “Minna Docomo Discount”, “Docomo Hikari Set Discount” and “D Card Payment Discount” can be applied to “5G Gigaho Premier” and “Gigaho Premier”.

With “Minna Docomo Discount”, if there are 3 or more users using the designated plan within the family discount, the maximum discount amount is 1000 yen.

The following table compares the charges when “Hikari docomo set discount” and “d card payment discount” are assumed to apply in this state as well.

If the discount is applied to the maximum, the price difference between the new plan announced this time and ahamo will be reduced to about 1500 yen.

Although the price is still higher than that of ahamo, the monthly data capacity of “5G Gigaho Premier” is unlimited and the monthly data capacity of “Gigaho Premier” is 60GB, which is three times that of ahamo. , that is, 20 GB per month. If there is a possibility to use it beyond that, it is better to use the plan with the premiere instead of ahamo.

Also, at premiere, if the amount of data used is 3GB or less, 1500 yen will be discounted.

For “Gigalite”, which has been prepared by DoCoMo as a “plan for users with a small amount of data”, the lowest price when applying various discounts is 2480 yen to use up to 3 GB and 2980 yen to use up to 5 GB . was.

Compared to this, the 2980 yen premium 3GB seems to be a bit expensive. However, if there are users using 20GB or more in other families, even users who do not need a lot of data capacity can apply “Gigalite” without changing to “ahamo” so that the “Minna Docomo Discount” discount can be applied to the maximum “. If you sign up for the premiere announced this time, it can be cheaper in terms of price for the whole family.

You must decide whether you are premier or ahamo, depending on the amount of data you use

So far, we’ve compared the prices and contents of the just-announced premiere and the much-talked-about “ahamo”, but the key to choosing one is “data capacity.”

As a major premise, if you are using it with “3 or more family members”, there is the possibility that you can apply to the maximum several discounts such as the Docomo Discount.

The same is true if you are planning to move “ahamo” to Docomo, and if there is a possibility that it will be used by three or more family members, you should pay attention to “data capacity”.

If everyone uses “a use that fits within 20 GB”, it is cheaper to use “ahamo” than brand new.

However, if even one person uses more than 20GB, it will definitely be easier to use if you select Premier and apply full discounts like the Docomo discount.

Also, by choosing the premier plan here, if the amount of data used by the thin users in the family is “within 3GB”, it will cost roughly the same amount each month as if you subscribed to “ahamo”.

Conversely, if you are unlikely to receive the “Discount for Everyone at Docomo” benefits, such as “20GB All-Fit Pattern” or “Only you have a contract with Docomo”, “ahamo” is compliant. It would be better to choose.

The two plans with the “premier” announced by Docomo this time are attractive because they go behind the easy to understand option “ahamo”.

Many people find it difficult to switch mobile phones for family reasons, such as “I can’t decide on my own” to buy a new one or change the pricing plan.

The “5G Gigaho Premier” and the “Gigaho Premier” made it easy to choose a plan that suits you and your family as the key to revising the price of “ahamo”.
