Introduction of Subscription Toppings for povo2.0
KDDI and Okinawa Cellular have exciting news for all povo users. Beginning from December 16, 2025, the companies will roll out a new monthly subscription feature known as "Subscription Toppings" for povo2.0. This service aims to enhance the existing offerings of 5GB and 30GB data options, which have already gained significant popularity among the users who appreciate ongoing purchases each month. With this new subscription model, users will no longer need to make separate purchases of toppings each month, thus providing a more seamless experience for data communication.
Subscription Toppings Details
The Subscription Toppings will include two new options:
- - 5GB Subscription: 1,380 yen per month, with data available for one month from the purchase date.
- - 30GB Subscription: 2,780 yen per month, also valid for one month from the purchase date.
Once you select and purchase a Subscription Topping, the same topping will be automatically renewed each month on the same day, ensuring that your data remains uninterrupted. Notifications regarding the upcoming renewals will be sent to the registered email address in the povo2.0 app, providing users with complete transparency.
