Introduction to Giga Charge Card
On October 7, 2025, KDDI and Okinawa Cellular will debut a new option for their data eSIM, the 'Giga Charge Card', which allows users to purchase 30GB of data valid for 30 days at Lawson stores across Japan. This service is priced at 2,780 yen, providing users with an opportunity to enjoy more data for their mobile needs.
Rising Data Needs
The decision to introduce the 30GB option comes in response to feedback from customers currently using the existing 20GB plan. Many users reported reaching their data limits before the end of the 30-day validity period, indicating a demand for increased data capacity. By expanding the offerings with this new, higher-capacity option, KDDI and Okinawa Cellular aim to cater to the evolving needs of their client base.
Currently, the 20GB plan, which has been available for 2,700 yen, will cease to be offered after October 20, 2025. Customers interested in this plan can purchase it until the inventory runs out.
Details of Available Options
With the introduction of the 30GB plan, here’s a detailed list of all Giga Charge Card options available from October 7, 2025:
- - Unlimited Data (24 hours): 330 yen
- - 3GB (30 days): 990 yen
- - 30GB (30 days): 2,780 yen
The first two options will maintain their current pricing and offerings.
How to Purchase and Use
To buy a Giga Charge Card, simply visit any Lawson store and bring the card to the register. Specify which topping you wish to add, make your payment, and then enter the redemption code found on the back of the card into the povo2.0 app to add the respective data capacity to your account.
For those not yet using povo2.0, it's easy to sign up via the QR code located on the back of the card, completing the registration process in as little as three minutes.
The Giga Charge Card has a validity period of 150 days from the date of purchase and is exclusively available for cash transactions.

Conclusion
This new data option is a response to evolving consumer needs and aims to enhance user experiences significantly. With convenient purchasing options and flexible plans, customers can stay better connected while enjoying cost-effective solutions.
