When forced to join an unnecessary option such as "W White" at the time of iPhone 4 reservation, it is possible to cancel at no charge

Started on June 15th at Softbank Mobile stores,Temporarily suspended as of todayAlthough it is reservation reception of "iPhone 4", there seems to be a case where some stores may be forcibly subscribed to the option plan including "W White" which should not be necessary to subscribe.

Even if we cancel once immediately after joining the option plan, we have to say that it is troublesome to think that it will be necessary to pay a part of the fee due to the schedule of dividends etc. However, It became clear that it will become possible.

Also,In the situation where the agent charges the amount added to the terminal fee as "down payment" or the likeMr. Masayoshi Son is commenting about.

Details are as below.
According to Mr. Masayoshi Son's official Twitter of SOFTBANK MOBILE, it seems that it is possible to cancel free of charge for users forced to join options such as W White despite being unnecessary when making an iPhone 4 reservation.

"Cancellation" in this case is not a cancellation of the line itself, but to be able to remove the option plan without charge.

Also,There is a Softbank shop called "down payment" or "contract money" to charge the fee apart from the installment fee of the mobile phone itselfRegarding the question of "the price of the terminal price is the freedom of an agency purchasing and reselling it, forced price control by SOFTBANK is a violation of antitrust law", "Sorry regrettable acts of some agenciesIt is said.

Incidentally, as a background to forcing agents to subscribe users such as "W White" options,Softbank Mobile has fine control over the achievements of distributors to subscribe options to users, and sales incentives to be paid by agents from SOFTBANK MOBILE will increase or decrease according to their achievementsThere is a circumstance.

In other words, even though SOFTBANK MOBILE's initiative invited the situation that "users who were forcibly joined by options appeared", they said that even though "SOFTBANK MOBILE's initiative invited them to free cancellation afterwards, there is no problem" It is obliged to say that there is sense of incompatibility with regard to the measures of the company, but is there a promise that such a situation will be improved?

Also regarding "down payment"Shops have originally requested "down payments" for users who should be able to change their models for free, or are strongly encouraging to subscribe to the option planAlthough there was a problem, when considering that it is lost in "free" for the user at the time when the agency carried out its own billing called "down payment", and that the situation is "a lie on the signboard" , It seems necessary to take some measures.

Considering that users who may remain compulsory for option plans without knowing circumstances may occur at this rate, introducing something other than an ad hoc policy that "Option plan can be canceled at a later time" I would like to expect to be done.
