Does SoftBank offer an unlimited plan?
Yes we do. You can use unlimited data for 4G and 5G at no additional charge. Automatic discount will be applied to light users who do not reach 3GB during the billing month.
I don't need that much data and I'm looking for a more budget friendly plan. Can you suggest alternative options?
