Advance entry for ahamo

I have already entered the advance entry campaign that "ahamo" is carrying out, where you can earn 3,000 points of d points. We waited until an additional 3,000pt, for a total of 6,000pt, was given to users who applied after that. It was not difficult to migrate from DoCoMo to ahamo online, but it took time to switch from "Xi Data Plan Flat Ninen" to the "voice contract line" required to subscribe to ahamo. Also, to use ahamo on the iPad Pro, I had to manually change the APN settings.

Switching to Xi Data Plan Flat Ninen Voice Contract

You can switch your Xi Data Plan Flat Ninen contract line to a voice contract line through online procedures such as My docomo or the d account menu. could not be changed to Even if I proceeded with the procedure, at the end, the message ``Please contact a docomo shop or support as the procedure cannot be performed'' was displayed. This is probably because "Xi Data Plan Flat Ninen" is a dedicated data communication line for tablets, etc., hanging from the main contract line. As a result, I decided to visit a docomo shop to switch to a voice contract line.

When migrating to ahamo, there are cases where no reservation cancellation fee is charged

Alternatively, the identity was confirmed with an insurance card, etc., and the procedure was advanced. Next, if you issue an online d point card, which is necessary for the migration procedure to ahamo, and switch to ahamo, you will be explained how much the current month's fee for "Xi Data Plan Flat Ninen" will be. Finally, I received an explanation about the cancellation fee that does not need to be paid in the case of abolition in the current month, the next month, or the month after the contract expiration month. In my case, since the reservation period ended in September, it seemed like a case where a reservation cancellation fee would be incurred, but if you change to ahamo and are still contracting with ahamo at the end of the reservation period, the cancellation fee will be charged. will not be charged. I applied for a change from "Xi Data Plan Flat Ninen" to "Gigalight 2" and the procedure was completed immediately.

Cannot communicate after switching to Ahamo

After switching to Ahamo, I turned off the Wi-Fi line and tried to connect to the cellular line, but still could not communicate. I had a hard time solving this problem, but the cause was the "APN" set on the iPad Pro. The APN for "Xi Data Plan Flat Ninen" was "mopera.net", but with ahamo I had to enter "spmode.ne.jp" as the APN.

Checking traffic volume with the ahamo app

After solving the APN problem, I was able to check the data traffic volume with the ahamo app.

The online switching procedure gave a polite impression

I felt that the online procedure for ahamo was not so difficult if it was a DoCoMo voice contract line. I have the impression that the contract content and precautions are written quite carefully. However, it was unexpected to switch a dedicated data line like the author to ahamo, so I had an unexpected difficulty in terms of procedures and changing the APN. In the future, I plan to check the communication speed in various places, but at present, I do not feel the difference in data communication speed with "Xi Data Plan Flat Ninen", and it is sufficiently fast.
