By simply installing the "povo2.0" app and using the "povo2.0" online-only smartphone plan using the au network as secondary-line, you can achieve three great things.
*Online-only fees plan*
*All procedures and support are handled online. Please contact us via the povo2.0 app or official website.
While continuing to use your current carrier (main line), you can activate a new SIM card from another carrier, allowing you to use two lines on one smartphone.
Switch to secondary-line when the speed limit on the primary line is reached
In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to purchase data on secondary-line rather than charging data on the main line. With povo2.0, you can get an Data Top-up (for 7 days) for 390 yen per use (tax included).
Switch to secondary-line at the end of the month when the communication costs of the main line are likely to increase
If you want to use just 1GB more on your main line, you can charge data at a discount on secondary-line.
Switch to secondary-line when you want the flexibility of using a plan different from your primary line
ピンポイントでデータ使い放題*を使いたいときに、副回線に切り替えて、おトクに使える。
*Communication speeds may be limited during network congestion or when using videos or cloud games.
Even if your smartphone's main line suddenly stops working, if you have secondary-line, you can easily switch to it and avoid the stress of not being able to connect.
*Not applicable Data Only plans
If you have secondary-line, you can have two phone numbers and use them depending on your needs.
You can easily switch between secondary-line and primary lines from the Settings app.
Tap the Settings app
Tap "Mobile Data"
Tap "Mobile Data"
Tap "povo2.0"
Make sure "povo2.0" is checked and go back
Why it's perfect
povo is not a fixed-rate (monthly) plan, so you can choose the amount of data (gigabytes) you need from the app and Topping when you need it.
*Certain conditions apply for continuous use for more than 180 days. 128kbps at 0 GB for 0 yen. For Data Only, initial Topping purchase required at the time of contract. For Calls＋Data, separate call charges apply.
Choose from
At povo, you can choose from a variety of fees plans (Topping), including "24 hours", "7 days", "30 days", "90 days", "180 days", and "365 days".
povo uses the au network, so it's easy to get a signal.
Good things happen
You can charge data that can be used with povo2.0 for free at LAWSON nationwide.
