KDDI launched a new service "povo2.0" on September 29th. Unlike the previous "povo 1.0", povo 2.0 is a new service that has a free basic charge and purchases the necessary call and data communication services as toppings.
The author is most looking forward to "povo 2.0", which has just started service, in combination with 5G home routers released by KDDI and UQ Communications, as a "home for business trips and travel destinations". It is used as a cheap unlimited use line that can be used on the router line.
Expectations for the combination of povo 2.0 and home routerIt is unnecessary to carry a home router if you are staying alone at a business hotel on a business trip. When using a mobile Wi-Fi router, the output of the Wi-Fi is insufficient, and the communication speed drops in a room far from the location where the router is installed. .
In order to solve this problem, there have been many cases of carrying a home router and using it while traveling. Home routers that do this are prohibited from being used at addresses other than those declared in advance as the installation location and usage location, and are designed to stop data communication if they are taken out and used outside of the actual installation address.
On the other hand, if you obtain a home router as a white rom, or if you use a home router after canceling the service with another carrier or service, restrictions on use outside the address you notified as the installation location will not apply. not. Therefore, it is basically possible to use a terminal that is not SIM-locked (separated from the original contract), such as a router sold by au/UQ at a second-hand shop, with povo 2.0. is possible.
Home router white roms can be purchased at second-hand shops, etc.Until now, the 24-hour unlimited data topping was offered as a topping of 220 yen every 24 hours even with povo 1.0, but povo 1.0. With 0, a monthly charge of 2728 yen is incurred as a basic charge, so in terms of cases where povo is not used as the main line, it didn't feel very cheap.
With povo2.0, the monthly fee for months when data communication or voice calls are not used is 0 yen, so there is no need to worry about maintenance costs during periods when the service is not used. According to an article on Keitai Watch, if the usage amount is small for a long period of time, the contract may be canceled, but so far it is not clearly stated that there will be a charge associated with the cancellation of the contract. yeah.
In the first place, povo 2.0 does not have an administrative fee or cancellation fee at the time of contract, so if you don't mind changing your phone number, canceling the contract, or making a new contract, you don't have to worry about the fee. can be said. As expected, I believe that there will be no charges such as fees without prior notice.
