How do I change my au plan to povo?
The other day, I switched my docomo plan to ahamo. Although carrier mail cannot be used, the data capacity can be used up to 20 GB, which is about half the price of the old plan. However, since the benefits of d CARD GOLD will change, d CARD GOLD users should consider carefully whether to continue.
This time, I decided to change my au plan to povo. I own docomo, au, Softbank, Rakuten Mobile (MNVO), Rakuten Mobile (Rakuten UN-LIMIT VI), LINE Mobile, and Ymobile, so I will pay a certain amount every month just for smartphone charges.
Access povo page to change au plan. It is possible to change relatively easily because it is changed from au. Click the "Apply" button.
Changing from au to povo
Similar to ahamo, it says that carrier emails cannot be used, but the most important thing is that you cannot receive benefits for au subscribers (au PAY card annual fee free benefit) etc.)”, please apply after understanding this well. Specific points to note will be described later.
Notes on povo
Next, since the device you are using is an iPhone 11 Pro, select "If you are using a povo compatible device" and select iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE (first 1 generation), click "No" and then click "Apply".
This time, we have added a monthly fee of 2,728 yen (tax included) for povo and a 550 yen (tax included) option for all-you-can-eat within 5 minutes. Click "Agree and proceed".
Choose povo + unlimited calls within 5 minutes
The message that carrier mail cannot be used with povo is displayed again, so after agreeing, click the "Next" button. Check one by one, check "I agree" and click "Next".
A confirmation screen will be displayed, so select only web page and SMS notifications and click "Apply for plan change". The plan change is complete.

What are the precautions for au PAY card and au PAY gold card holders?
Check the "You cannot receive benefits for au subscribers (au PAY card annual fee free benefits, etc.)" displayed when you apply for povo. Services for au subscribers require the following attention.
First of all, the annual fee for the au PAY card is different for povo users than for au users. ETC issuance fee, usage statement sending fee, delay damage fee, etc.), it will be free if you use shopping even once in a year. Therefore, if you use the au PAY card normally, there should be no annual fee.
Next, for the au PAY gold card, there will be no 10% Ponta point reduction for povo usage charges. There is no (note) for this privilege, so it will be out of scope at the time of change. I would like to check the acquisition history of Ponta points in the future.
Another important point is au's iDeCo point benefits. (Note 2) is attached, so you can use the benefits for the time being, but you may be worried that it will not be decided what will happen. If you start iDeCo with au thinking that you can earn Ponta points, but you can't earn Ponta points, iDeCo from another company is fine.
If the 10% benefit of the au PAY Gold Card disappears, it may be possible to downgrade in the same way as with the d CARD GOLD, but at the moment it is 2% (normal 1% + bonus 1%) when charging au PAY. %), 10% off with Relux, and payment of metropolitan tax with au PAY, so au PAY Gold Card will continue for a while.
