■Good points about other companies (4 major carriers)
The docomo network that YOLO MOBILE also uses has the greatest advantage of having a wide communication area due to the large number of base stations.
SoftBank's coverage area is smaller than docomo's, but its communication speed is faster, so you can communicate smoothly in urban areas.
Rakuten Mobile is a new brand among the major carriers, so it still has a small number of users, but it is gaining popularity for various reasons such as its low cost and easy procedures.
au offers many attractive campaigns and services. Not only can you use mobile phones, but you can also enjoy popular services like Netflix and Amazon Prime at a lower cost.


Each carrier has its own advantages. It is important to choose a mobile carrier that best suits your needs.
