EMobile to start prepaid high-speed data service

TOKYO — Mobile operator EMobile Ltd said Friday it will start providing a prepaid data communications service on March 25 at a rate of 63 yen per one megabyte in a standard plan. In the service, which requires no basic monthly fee, users will pay a fixed amount of charges in advance on EMobile's web site with credit cards, said the company under the wing of broadband service provider EAccess Ltd.




Communications cards that support a transmission speed of up to 7.2 megabits per second will be available at 33,980 yen each, and those for 3.6 Mbps are 28,980 yen. EMobile will also offer a fixed-rate plan for one-day unlimited use for 630 yen and another for seven days for 2,205 yen. In the March 25-April 30 campaign period, the company will not charge per-customer contract fees of 2,855 yen and give a discount of 14,000 yen for each communications card.

...a 33,980 yen card could last just 75 seconds!

The fixed-rate seven days for 2,205 yen sounds good, though, especially for foreign visitors.

40,000 Yen for a 650 MB download. Not too much movie piracy going on there.

well, unless you have a japanese windows OS, you cannot use these datacards.
i tried willcom and e-mobile and they will not install under an english windows OS.
i had to go with softbank datacard as they are english OS friendly. softbank charges around 7000yen a month for 500Mb downloads, ive never ever been near to going over my allowance but i only use this card when im on the move with laptop in toe.

e-mobile have dreadul coverage in hokkaido.
