Docomo to raise ahamo prices by 165 yen in December
Original: Docomo's 'ahamo' to See Price Hike from December, but Modest 165 Yen Monthly Increase Suggests Rival Carrier Competition in Mind!? Old OCN Mobile ONE Plans Also Affected
NTT Docomo will raise the monthly fee for its budget mobile brand ahamo from December, with an increase of just 165 yen. Older OCN Mobile ONE plans will also be affected. The small size of the hike is drawing attention, with observers suggesting Docomo is keeping the rise modest to avoid pushing customers toward rival low-cost carriers such as Rakuten Mobile or others.
Why now: A rare price increase on a major Japanese budget plan is landing soon and is small enough to signal carrier competition
