Softbank Reveals iPad and 3G Data Pricing for Japan

[* Updated with new plan information]

Sorry for all the iPad traffic lately. Rest assured we are still keeping our eagle eye’s out for other mobile coverage in Japan.

But the moment we have been waiting for is here.  Softbank has announced pricing for the iPad and iPad 3G, as well as details on two 3G connection plans, a monthly unlimited plan and a pre-paid option.

http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/ipad/

So let’s take a look at what we have got.

First of all, you will have a choice of paying up front cash, or buying on a two year installment plan.

So pricing for an iPad Wi-fi only model in cash would be

16GB: 48,960,  32GB: 59,040, and 64GB 68,880

Using installment ups it a bit at

16GB: 53,280, 32GB: 63,360, and 64GB 73,200

Pricing for the iPad 3G model with the prepaid plan would be

Cash purchase

16GB: 61,920, 32GB: 72,000, and 64GB 81,840

monthly installments (24x)

16GB: 66,240, 32GB: 76,320, and 64GB 86,160

If you sign up for a two year contract for unlimited data, Softbank will eat the interest for you so there is no difference between cash purchase price and installment plan.  So the 3G model on the monthly unlimited data plan (2 year contract)

16GB: 58,320, 32GB: 67,920, and 64GB 77,280

see the full price chart with detail here

http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/ipad/price_plan/chart/

Note that all iPads come with two years of free access to Softbank’s Wi-fi hotspot service (after two years the cost will be 490 yen/month).

Next we have the data plans.  You’ll have to sign up some data service in addition to purchasing an iPad to use Softbank’s 3G data network.

Softbank is offering their standard unlimited data plan of 4,410 yen a month, however if you are using an iPad, you can receive a 1,500 yen a month discount dropping the monthly charge to 2,910 a month.  I assume this means that if you pop out your micro SIM and somehow get it into a computer or other device you risk losing your discount.

There is also a monthly prepaid service that offers you up to 1 GB of data that you can use for up to 30 days.  This will cost you 4,410 yen a charge.  This is not as great a deal and if either 30 days pass or you use your 1GB of data up (whichever comes first), you will need to recharge your plan.  You can set this up to work automatically, but that could lead to some scary charges if you somehow download a lot of data.

Remember, pre-orders start on Monday, May 10 at 10 am.

and as for Docomo, no official word.

*UPDATE 5/9: Thanks to community member ketahi who found information on a third data plan.  It seems that in addition to the 1GB prepaid plan, there will be an additional 100MB prepaid plan offered starting July 1.  This plan will cost 1,510 yen per month and people who sign up for the 1GB plan will be able to swap over to the lower plan when it becomes available.

    According to Softbank’s website, you can preorder from select oftbank Shops, various retailers, Apple stores, and Apple’s online shop.

    What I am wondering about is the the prepaid option as we/I only spend about 2-4 months out of the year in Japan, will I be able to take my US 3G iPad, pop over to Softbank with the usual ID requirements and just pick up a microsim.

  • Darren McDonald

    Hello Folks

    One thing that Softbank is not so openly publicizing is that the exclusivity agreement they have with Apple enables Softbank to sell iPads with with the sim card LOCKED!!! In other words, at the time of writing this, Japan is the ONLY country where you CANNOT buy a sim lock-free iPad. This comes as very surprising since Steve Jobs himself, at the unveiling of the IPad in the US, touted that the iPad would be sim lock free.

    So, what if you buy an iPad outside of Japan and want to get a sim card for Japan? Well the only company in Japan you can get a sim card from the iPad is Softbank. (Since Softbank managed to get exclusivity for Japan, NTT Docomo had to drop its plans to make available a iPad sim card for their network). Softbank will NOT be selling sim cards alone to use in iPads bought from overseas. This means that you cannot get a sim card for Japan for a sim-lock free iPad you bought from Apple overseas. Softbank’s supposed logic to quell any gripes is that it is offering the iPads at a reduced price.

    Now, what happens if you decide to buy the iPad from Softbank and get a sim card from a US (or other country) carrier to put in your Softbank iPad when overseas? The answer is because the iPad is locked to Softbank’s sim card, NO OTHER sim cards will work.

    Although this is all hard to believe. I confirmed it as true with Softbank just now over the telephone. Since the sale of the iPad by Softbank was just announced the sales staff had to put me on hold several times to ask someone in the know the answers to my questions. But that is the official word.

    I placed an official complaint with Softbank about the sim-lock issue going against Steve Jobs declaration. But it is Steve Jobs who agreed to this exclusivity to Japan. I have lots of things I want to get off my chest about this, but I will leave it to just stating the official information that folks may not be aware of.

  • Steve Nagata

    Ok guys,

    I’ve heard the rumors as well. There has been a lot of stories going around on message boards and on twitter about whether Japan’s iPad will be SIM locked. I’ve heard all the variations and from very good sources. But to my knowledge there has been no official announcement from either Softbank or Apple regarding the official launch information.

    As far as I know, no employee of Softbank or Apple is currently authorized to comment on this, so anyone who does may not have all their information straight. We’ll soon have an official statement of the the policy as well as Independent testing by Japanese reviewers. Once we have official confirmation, you bet we’ll be covering it.

  • Darren McDonald

    Hello Steve

    I am surprised to hear that no employee from Softbank is authorized to provide information on the conditions of contract. The representative over the telephone was very liberal and coming with this information.

    If there is no official announcement from Softbank at this time, then they will have to act quickly. Today is Sunday, they start accepting pre-orders tomorrow (Monday). At the very latest Softbank would have to disclose this information when pre-ordering otherwise it falls deeply into unethical waters.

    I appreciate your hard work in reporting and providing accurate information. Thank you for going to efforts of tracking down official authorized announcements. I look forward to your reporting. Keep up this great work! :)

    Cheers! :)

    According to the mainichi:

    携帯電話回線でもインターネット通信できるタイプには、利用可能回線をソフトバンクに限定した「SIM(シム)ロック」をかける。

    The 3G enable type is SIM locked and limited to usage only on softbank’s network.

    Indeed, nothing official from apple or softbank, but it doesn’t sound good.

  • Paul Papadimitriou

    We are aware of the chatter about the SIM lock by SoftBank (Asiajin has more about this: http://asiajin.com/blog/2010/05/09/softbank-mobile-to-begin-ipad-pre-orders-tomorrow/

    Until anything gets confirmed by either Apple or Softbank, we consider this as a rumor. No Apple employee has clearance to speak about this.

    We’ll probably know more tomorrow morning, so stay tuned. Steve will update this post when more information becomes available.

    Thanks!

  • alex einz

    I might be misunderstanding something,but to my knowldge (after looking at softbank site) They offer no discounts for the ipad itself except installments.The only discount is on the actual dataplan .

    In that case the only incentive they have is the 1500 discount on the dataplan?In such case why not use any other carrier?

  • alex einz

    The sim lock they talk about is not ipad but the sim itself

    Which basically to prevent you from using that sim on all the other devices u own

  • Tokyo Dan

    Can oder online at Apple Japan store now. Saw no info about the iPad being sold anywhere like Bic Camera or Yodobashi Camera.

  • Tokyo Dan

    I’m not sure that this means the iPad can be bought at outher places besides Softbank and Apple:

    Seems that you can’t order a 3g iPad on the Japan Online Apple store without ordering a Softbank data plan.

    It seems there’s more. iPad 3G in Japan will be SIM locked due to exclusive relationship between Apple and Softbank.

    Meaning you won’t be able to switch microSIM (to go on DoCoMo for instance, if they don’t change their mind about releasing plans) but also won’t be able to buy a plan only from SoftBank (they won’t sell you the SIM only)…

    Hi everyone,

    I’m gonna travel to Tokyo in a month and i need to know if i’ll could buy a 3G iPad with just one month pre-paid data plan, without any resident adress or something? Or do i need to buy it before (in France actually) and try to find out pre-paid data plan in japan?
    I tried to figure out what i need in this post and in your comments, maybe i missed something or do not understood some subtilities but i didn’t found a clear answer for my questions.

    Thx for your answer.

    D.

  • nyunt shwe

    I’d like to know if I can update from Wifi to 3G and if yes, how and how much for 2 years contract. I bought my ipad a few months ago, a basic model.

  • delila

    Unfair!! Those 3G data plans are cheap compared to the ones offered here in New Zealand and offers a hell of a lot more memory!! NZ is such a rip off……
