Before explaining the moving procedure, let's first introduce an overview of au Smart Value.

1-1 You can get a great deal on a fixed line at home and a smartphone with a set contract!

au Smart Value is a plan that offers a long-term discount of 500 yen to 1,410 yen per month if you sign up for a smartphone with an optical line such as au Hikari or a cable TV such as J: COM.

The discount amount varies depending on whether you are using an LTE terminal or a feature phone, but even if the monthly discount amount is 500 yen, the annual discount will be 6,000 yen, so it is foolish. Cannot be.

If you have a set of 4G LTE compatible smartphone and fixed line, you can get a discount of 934 yen up to 2,000 yen / month. This is a discount of up to 24,000 yen per year. It's a fixed cost that costs every month, so you want to use it at a reasonable price.

In addition, discounts can be applied to up to 10 au Smart Value units (family contracts). If you are using au with your family, you should definitely consider it.

1-1 Can au Smart Value be used with distant families?

There are other nice points about au Smart Value. You can sign a contract with a family over 50 who lives far away.

For example, if you are currently using an au Hikari line at home and have a family member over the age of 50 who is using an au smartphone in the distance, you can apply au Smart Value to that home as well.

It's nice to get the same discounts as family members who are far away.

1-2 Can anyone using an iPad sign a contract?

Many people are using the iPad as a sub device for their smartphones. Such iPad users are also eligible for au Smart Value.

In this case, you must subscribe to LTE Flat for Tab (i), but you can get a discount of 1,410 yen for up to 2 years. After the third year, the discount is 934 yen / month for many years.

In the next chapter, we will explain the continuation of the au Smart Value service.

1-3 What are the conditions for joining au Smart Value?

The conditions for joining au Smart Value are as follows.

Currently, there are many people who use only smartphones and not landlines, but even such people can get a discount by subscribing to the landline option.

It's a little reluctant to pay for something you don't use, but if the discount exceeds that, it's better to take advantage of it.

By the way, the discount does not apply to couples living together, so please be careful.

On the other hand, even if your last name is different, you can sign a contract without any problem if you are married. In that case, you will need a document that can prove your marriage, so be sure to have a copy of your family register.

Also, depending on the condominium or apartment you live in, you may not be able to use the fixed line of au Hikari, so please check this in advance as well.

You can check it on the official au website, so please check if there is a target fixed line in your area.

1-4 Which fixed lines / areas support au Smart Value?

By the way, how many fixed lines are compatible with au Smart Value? Basically, it supports the following fixed lines such as au Hikari.

It is compatible with most areas throughout Japan, and au Smart Value can be used in major areas. There are also lines that can be used instead even if au Hikari is not available.

1-5 Disadvantages and penalties of au Smart Value

Initial cost is incurred at the time of new introduction

When using au Smart Value, an initial cost will be incurred when introducing au Hikari newly.

At au Hikari Home (au Hikari for single-family homes), it costs 37,500 yen including construction costs and a registration fee of 3,000 yen. The initial cost of au Hikari Mansion (apartment, au Hikari for condominiums) is 30,000 yen including construction cost and 3,000 yen registration fee.

However, although there is an initial cost, the discount will be applied for many years, so it is a service that will definitely be profitable in the long run.

au offers many student discounts and other discounts, but most of them are discounts for about two years, and in many cases the discounts will not continue unless you do something new. Therefore, let's take advantage of au Smart Value and use your smartphone and fixed line at a great price.

au Smart Value does not incur penalties

In addition, no penalty will be incurred when canceling au Smart Value. * Please note that penalties may be incurred for smartphone contracts and au Hikari contracts.

Since au Smart Value does not incur penalties, it can be said that it is a service that has advantages but no disadvantages.

However, please note that the discount amount will decrease two years after the contract. However, the discount will continue for a long time, so it is a recommended service for those who have been using au for a long time.

In the next chapter, we will explain the continuation of the au Smart Value service.

1-6 How to subscribe to au Smart Value

Anyone can subscribe to au Smart Value as long as they meet the subscription conditions. There are three ways to apply: at the au shop, at My au, and by phone.

However, you can only apply for up to 4 lines using My au (Internet) or telephone. If you apply for more than 5 lines, please apply at the store.

The following four items are required for application.

1-7 If your family is a user other than au, au Smart Value mine is recommended.

So far, I have explained the smart value that is advantageous when using it with a family or when using it as a set with a fixed line.

However, if your family is using another carrier or is not in the target area of ​​the optical line, smart value cannot be applied, so it will not be very profitable.

In such a case, we would like you to use au Smart Value mine. By subscribing to a Wi-Fi router and an au smartphone as a set, you can get a discount of up to 1,000 yen every month.

If you have a Wi-Fi router, you can use it not only on your computer or tablet sub-device, but also save on the amount of data used on your smartphone, so this plan is highly recommended for heavy internet users.

This is also a long-term discount, so it will definitely be a good deal in the long run. If you have been an au user for a long time, or if you are considering using Wi-Fi for your computer or tablet, why not consider it?

Precautions for au Smart Value mine

There is only one thing to note about au Smart Value mine. That is, mine = my own, so my family is not eligible for the discount.

This is a discount plan that can only be used by yourself, so be aware that au Smart Value may be more profitable if you have au users in your family or if you can connect to a fixed line.

In the next chapter, we will explain the procedure for moving while using au Smart Value.

What is the procedure for moving while using au Smart Value?

2-1 Continuation procedure and precautions for au Smart Value

There are various moving procedures, but when it comes to smartphones, you need to apply for a change of address. If you want to use Smart Value even after moving, you need to change the address on your smartphone and fixed line.

Do not make a mistake in the address word for word

Basically, if you change your smartphone address and fixed line address, the smart value discount will continue. However, at this time, please be careful because the address of the smartphone and the address of the fixed line must be the same word for word.

If the address notation is different between the two, it will not be considered as the same address and the discount will be cancelled. Please note that there are actually such cases.

For J: COM fixed line users, au Smart Value will be canceled by changing the address.

Also, if you are using J: COM's fixed line, au Smart Value will be canceled when you change your address, so you need to apply for a new one.

In order to continue using au Smart Value at your new address, you will need to confirm that you can use the Hikari Line at your new address. When you decide to move, first check if you can use au Hikari at your new address.

You can check the corresponding area on the official website or the store, but if you are not sure, you can go to the store directly.

If you do not complete the procedure after confirming that you can use au Smart Value even after moving, the contract will be canceled before you know it, and you will be charged a higher amount than before. let's do it.

Let's calculate back from the moving date and apply

After moving, if the new house becomes a detached house, you will need to use the au Hikari Home, but it will take 1 to 2 months to open. You can also use au Hikari Mansion if it is an apartment house, but it will take about 2 weeks to open.

By applying in advance, you will not have to bear the extra costs incurred by canceling au Smart Value, so it is important to apply back from the date of moving.
