au Pitatto Plan au Pitatto Plan is a new rate plan under which a flat-rate charge is automatically applied in 5 stages starting from 1,980 [2] depending on how much data is used.

For most customers who use smartphones, the amount of data they use varies from month to month and there are months when they do not get the best rate. Under the au Pitatto Plan, a rate appropriate for data usage that month is automatically applied, enabling such customers to use their smartphones without waste each month.



* When Everybody Discount, au Smart Value and Big News Campaign are applied

There are 3 plans to choose from, au Pitatto Plan (Super Kakeho), au Pitatto Plan (Kakeho) and au Pitatto Plan (Simple), depending on usage of voice calls.
