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.

What is secondary-line?

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.

Three advantages of secondary-line
Point 1
Smart savings on monthly communication costs

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

When traveling or camping and there is no Wi-Fi environment, use Unlimited data on secondary-line
Use Unlimited data on secondary-line so your child can watch videos while out and about

When you want to use Unlimited data in a specific area, you can switch to secondary-line and use it at a discount.

*There are restrictions on data transmission during busy times and for videos, etc.

Point 2
Prepare for when your smartphone suddenly stops working

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.

Use secondary-line when it is difficult to connect to the main line, such as when hiking
Use secondary-line when it is difficult to connect to the main line at places where many people gather, such as festivals and events
Use secondary-line when the main line is difficult to connect due to a communication failure
Point 3
Use different phone numbers depending on the purpose

*Not applicable Data Only plans

If you have secondary-line, you can have two phone numbers and use them depending on your needs.

Use a secondary-line phone number when you want to create multiple accounts for SNS, etc.
Use secondary-line when you want to use separate phone numbers for work and personal use
When traveling abroad, use data at a discount on secondary-line
