[About data communication]

★1: If the amount of communication exceeds the monthly data amount or purchased data amount, the maximum communication speed for sending and receiving will be 128 kbps (a best-effort service). Note that even if the amount of communication is within the contracted data amount, a restriction may be placed on the communication speed as per an overseas carrier's policy.

*E-mails from an au mobile phone (including tablets), internet use, and use by tethering are eligible. Voice calls, Video Phone, and SMS (C-mail)/International SMS are not covered.

*If you are in an ineligible country or region, you are connected to a ship/airplane carrier, or you are not subscribed to Data Charge, World Data Flat is not applied. Instead, Overseas Double-Teigaku or a pay-as-you-go system is applied to the data communication charge.
*Regardless of whether you are subscribed to a data flat rate service, your line may be temporarily suspended if the cost of the packet communication you use overseas becomes high.
*Partner carriers, regions, or cities may not be changed or available due to communication circumstances in the destination country or region.
