Notes

• Volume Discount
• Yu Yu Call bonus (communications allowance given to the called party)

• If you purchase an applicable handset model at the sales price for Value Course at a shop, you have to select a Value Plan billing plan for your FOMA service subscription for that handset.
• If you wish to use DOCOMO's FOMA service with another company's handset or other device, it is possible to newly subscribe, change subscriptions, or change billing plans with Value Plan if you present the handset you are using over the counter at a docomo Shop.
  There are certain conditions regarding the use of Value Plan, so ask staff at a docomo Shop for details.
• If you have a FOMA service subscription with a Value Plan subscription and you subsequently either purchase a handset with Basic Course or you purchase a handset model that is not covered by Value Course, you will no longer be able to use Value Plan and will be required to choose a Basic Plan billing plan.

• With new subscriptions or changes in billing plans, the new billing plan will apply from the day of application.
• Charges for Value Plan are uniform regardless of the called party, region, and the time of day (Except for international communications and (Open this content in a new window)satellite and marine communications (in Japanese only), as well as Type Business and Type Business Value).
• Charges for Value Plan are calculated in 30-second increments (Except for international communications, Type Business, and Type Business Value).
• Communications that begin in one month and end in the subsequent month will generally be billed for the month in which the communications ended. In such a case, the same is true for the application of a communications allowance and various communications charge discounts.
• The basic monthly charge (including communications allowance) will be calculated on a per-diem basis for the number of days used. In that case, the basic monthly charge will be rounded down to the nearest yen and the communications allowance rounded up to the nearest yen.
• Usage charges will be calculated applying the billing plan subscribed to as of the end of the communications.
• Communications allowances cover voice communications, Videophone and other digital communications (FOMA), packet communications (except for use of Pake-hodai double, Pake-hodai simple, Pake-hodai FLAT, Pake-hodai double 2), Short Message communications (FOMA), Short Mail communications (mova), and international communications. Unused communications allowances can be carried over for up to two months if the dialing and data communications charges in a month do not reach the communications allowance. Yu Yu Call, Family Discount, Ikkatsu Discount, and other dialing and data communications charge discount services can be also applied to the dialing and data communications charges that are applied to the communications allowance and Packet Pack monthly charge (=communications allowance). The communications allowances included in the basic monthly charges do not change even after discounts have been applied.
• Communications allowances included in the basic monthly charge do not cover the following charges: Global Pake-hodai communications charges, i-mode and other information charges, DCMX mini and docomo Mobile Payment Service charges, charges for collect calls (106), telegrams (115), directory assistance (104 inquiry charges), international calls provided by carriers other than DOCOMO, calls to numbers starting with 0570 or 0180, etc. However, up until November 30, 2010, communications allowances included in the basic monthly charges also cover Global Pake-hodai communications charges.

• Long-Term Subscriber Discount cannot be combined with New Ichinen Discount, Fami-wari MAX50, Hitoridemo Discount50, Business Discount50, Business Call Discount, or Office-wari MAX50.
• When a FOMA Data Communications Billing Plan and a Value Plan are both used in the same month due to a change in billing plans, the packet communications allowance of the FOMA Data Communications Billing Plan (measured rate) applies to the FOMA Data Communications Billing Plan (measured rate) charges (or charges for packet communications not covered by the flat rate when using a flat-rate data plan). The Value Plan communications allowance applies to usage under the Value Plan. In such cases, the amounts of unused FOMA Data Communications Billing Plan (measured rate) packet communications allowances and unused Value Plan communications allowances will not be appropriated to each other. Furthermore, only communications allowances applicable to the billing plan (FOMA Data Communications Billing Plan, Value Plan, or previous FOMA billing plan) subscribed to at the end of the month will be carried over two months. Even if you apply for Family Discount, shared use with the Two-Month CarryOver will not apply.
• Type Limit, Type Limit Value, Family Wide Limit, and Family Wide Limit Value subscribers are not eligible to use the following services: Call Forwarding Service, Toll-Free Number Service, WORLD WING, WORLD CALL, Call Unit Display, some menus in (Various applications/procedures), Option Pack Discount, Volume Discount, Yu Yu Call bonus (communications allowance given to the called party), and 400 free packets under previous mova billing plans.
• Yu Yu Call (¥189/month) can be subscribed to along with a Value Plan, but only the dialing charge discount applies, and the bonus (communications allowance given to the called party) does not apply. However, the bonus (communications allowance given to the called party) does apply when you receive an incoming call from a caller on a previous billing plan who has designated your number under the Yu Yu Call Discount.

• Value Plan allows use of packet communications services for just the basic monthly charge. (Communications charges apply separately.) When using i-mode, a separate i-mode monthly charge is required.
• Although dialing charges incurred while using mova service with the Dual Network Service are the same as when using FOMA service (except for FOMA Data Communications Billing Plans and FOMA Ubiquitous Plans), packet communications charges of ¥0.315/packet apply.
• If the transmission conditions are unstable, data transmission may be erroneously repeated. The packet communications charges apply to the repeated data transmissions, so be sure to check the transmission conditions to save on charges.

• A ¥1,050 handling fee will be applied each time from the third change to your billing plan in the same month.
• A handling fee of ¥2,100 will apply for change in subscription between FOMA and Xi "crossy".
