About Using d POINTs

If you use d POINTs to purchase a handset, the points will be applied first as the down payment to the cost of the handset. For the remaining points, you can choose one of the following payment methods:

[Gross payment method] Applies points evenly to each monthly installment payment. (Note that indivisible points are applied to the first installment.)
[Monthly payment method] Limits points to be applied to the amount of a single monthly installment payment and carries them over to the following monthly installment until the points have all been used.

Example: When purchasing a product in 36 installments using d POINTsExample: When purchasing a product in 36 installments using d POINTs
  • You cannot change the payment method once you have selected one.

  • DOCOMO installment payments refer to a purchase method for customers who purchase an applicable model above to sign an installment payment contract (individual credit purchase brokerage contract/installment sale contract) with DOCOMO and pay to DOCOMO in installments an amount obtained by subtracting the amount of the down payment specified by each sales store from the amount of the purchase price. No handling fee is incurred, and 12 payments, 24 payments or 36 payments are available.
  • The application must be made by the subscriber to use DOCOMO installment payments under an individual name. An application made by a representative (except a legal representative or family member of the subscriber) will not be accepted.
