I will explain each plan in detail.
5G Gigaho Premier is a plan for people who want unlimited data and 5G communication.
The monthly fee is 7,315 yen (tax included), but if the monthly data traffic volume is 3GB or less, it will be 1,650 yen (tax included) cheaper.
To use 5G communication, you need to prepare a smartphone that supports 5G communication.
5G Gigaho Premier is a plan dedicated to 5G!
Gigaho Premier is a plan for people who want to use a lot of data because it can use up to 60GB, although it does not have unlimited data.
If you have 60GB, you can watch a lot of videos!
For example, if you set the image quality of YouTube to 360P, you can watch about 3 hours with 1GB.
If you watch 6 hours a day, it will be 60GB in 30 days!
360P is said to be a level that can be viewed without problems on a smartphone.
This contributor also seems to be satisfied with Gigaho Premier, which can communicate a lot.
Also, since Gigaho Premier is a plan for 4G smartphones, there is no need to prepare a 5G compatible smartphone.
5G Gigalight/Gigalight charges vary depending on the amount of communication used between 1 and 7GB.
The lower the monthly communication volume, the cheaper the monthly fee, so it is recommended for people with low monthly communication volume.
"5G Gigalight" is a price plan dedicated to 5G!
If you have a 4G smartphone, choose "Gigalight"!
In addition, 5G Gigalight / Gigalight has a "Giga Plan upper limit setting option".
The Giga Plan upper limit setting option is a service that allows you to set the "upper limit of the amount of data that can be used at normal speed" free of charge.
If you set the upper limit at the step you want, the speed limit will be applied automatically.

If the speed limit is applied automatically, you don't have to worry about paying too much!
Actually, in word of mouth, there was an opinion that "it is safe to have an upper limit setting option".
The capping option is also recommended for those who are worried about their children using too much.

Next, we will introduce the notes on docomo Giga Plan.
[Points to note about docomo's Giga Plan]Be sure to check in advance so that you don't regret it after signing the contract!
docomo accepted contracts for a rate plan called "Gigaho" until March 2021.
From April 2021, "Gigaho Premier" will be available, and both names are similar and difficult to understand.
The old plan "Gigaho" and the current "Gigaho Premier" are completely different plans.
Although new applications for "Gigaho" have ended, the plan itself still remains.
While the amount of data available for "Gigaho Premier" is 60GB, the amount of data available for "Gigaho" is 30GB!

In addition, there are "Gigaho Premier" and "Gigalight" in the rate plan for 4G smartphones.
Please choose a rate plan according to the smartphone you use.
5G Gigalight/Gigalight, which is a pay-as-you-go plan, has a slow speed of 128kbps after communication restrictions.
Even cheap SIMs are often 200kbps, so 128kbps seems slow.
However, "Gigaho Premier" can be used at 1 Mbps even after the capacity is exceeded.
If you want a communication speed that is less stressful, we recommend using "Gigaho Premier".
Of course, we also recommend "5G Gigaho Premier", which allows you to use unlimited data!
