Content / subscription options
エンタメオプション entame opushon
Video, music and other subscriptions you can attach to your mobile contract so they appear on one bill — sometimes free or discounted for a limited period.
Carriers offer their own "unlimited" video and music packs, and also bundle or discount third-party services. The subscription is billed together with your mobile service.
The common trap is a promotional period: free or half price for the first months, then automatic renewal at full price. Note the date it changes.
Check whether a discount is tied to a particular plan, and what happens to your account with that service if you later cancel the option.
