Basic charge for students and children is free for 3 years! "White Student Discount with Family 2011" Implemented | SOFTBANK MOBILE Corp.

◆ The top discount price is SOFTBANK MOBILE

Assuming that you are using 24 months as a general cell phone usage cycle, assuming that you joined a family service (parents, one student), the total discount of each company is as follows.

· NTT DoCoMo
Monthly discount amount 390 yen × 24 months × 3 people (parents, 1 student) =20,880 yen
(When smartphone is used) Monthly discount amount (390 yen + 525 yen) × 24 months × 3 people (parents, 1 student) =¥ 56880

· KDDI
Monthly discount amount 390 yen × 24 months × 3 people (parents, 1 student) =20,880 yen
(When smartphone is used) Monthly discount amount (390 yen + 525 yen) × 24 months × 3 people (parents, 1 student) =¥ 56880

·SoftBank mobile
When parents use MNP:
Monthly discount amount 980 yen × 24 months × 3 people (parents, 1 student) =¥ 7560
(When using smartphone) Monthly discount amount (980 yen + 1050 yen) × 24 months × 3 people (parents, 1 student) =1461 6160 yen

When parents did not use MNP
Monthly discount amount 980 yen × 24 months × 1 person (student 1 person) + 980 × 12 months × 2 people (parents) =40, 7040 yen
(When using smartphone) Monthly discount amount (980 yen + 1050 yen) × 24 months × 1 person + (980 yen + 1050 yen) × 12 months × 2 people (parents) =90,4740 yen

◆ Importation of students who positively use packets is essential

Considering the discount amount, SOFTBANK MOBILE is taking the most emphasis on student acquisition, coupled with the positive use of "MNP" to withdraw customers from other companies. Mobile phones are now indispensable for students, so we will not just be downloading content such as "Chaku-Uta", but actively use web services such as "Mobage Town" and other game sites, video sites, SNS etc. Therefore, it seems that most cases use packet communication service to the upper limit of flat rate.

In other words, even if the discount amount is increased, it is possible to cover the data communication fee income to some extent, and furthermore, the future such as "to continue using for a long time even if becoming a society person by graduating in the student Although it can be expected to be an investment aspect to Softbank Mobile, it seems necessary for NTT docomo and KDDI to become more aggressive against the present situation where SOFTBANK MOBO is putting the most emphasis on student acquisition.
