Posted in: NTT Docomo to lower mobile phone charges See in context
Japanese never complain about things. Or at least not enough. I have a prepaid plan in Italy that costs me €8 / month with 60gb and unlimited calls.
In Japan they still ask you to pay extra for unlimited calls when you can easily use apps to call for free.
20gb nowadays is almost nothing if you think how big data became.
