Business strategy

Our mobile communications service provides services and price plans suited to user needs to increase the total number of smartphone subscribers.

Three competitive advantages

1. Multi-brand strategy

The Company provides three brands with differentiated characteristics: SoftBank, where users can use the smartphones with unlimited data plans, Y!mobile, which has lower monthly charges for medium to low data usage, and LINEMO, the online exclusive brand with functions that users can carry out all types of procedures and receive support online. By responding to changing user needs, the Company aims to drive user transition among brands within the Group, expand acquisition of new subscriptions, and prevent users from moving outside the Group.
