KDDI and Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company will launch "Family Discount Plus" [1] on October 1, 2019, offering discounts on monthly service charges depending on how many family members subscribe.
"Family Discount Plus" is a new service that discounts monthly charges for families that join eligible service plans, with greater discounts for more family member subscriptions: a ¥500 reduction in charges for families with 2 members subscribing, and a ¥1,000 monthly discount when 3 or more family members sign up. When used in combination with au Smart Value, a family with 3 or more members subscribing can save a total of up to ¥2,000 per month.
In addition, a "Family Plus Start Campaign" promotional offer is available from June 1 through September 30, 2019. Families that subscribe to the Family Discount Plus service during this period will receive the maximum ¥1,000 monthly Family Discount Plus rate reduction from the date of sign-up until September 30, 2019, regardless of how many family members subscribe.
KDDI and Okinawa Cellular are working to achieve the goal of integrating telecommunications and life design. As companies that are always offering exciting new ideas, we listen to what customers are telling us. By continuing to offer advantageous rate plans and discount services, we are creating new customer experience value.
For details, please see the attachment.
Permanent rate reductions are offered, depending on how many members of a family sign up for a plan whose subscribers count as eligible for Family Discount Plus, and the service can be used together with au Smart Value.
