iPhone 3G data plan minimum fee gets cheaper again

iPhone 3G

Twice in one month? SoftBank Mobile has again lowered the minimum price of its all-you-can-eat "Packet Flat-rate Full" data plan for the iPhone 3G. The minimum fee for low packet usage, lowered earlier this month from a flat JPY5985 to JPY1695, now drops to JPY1029 per month. If you're a light data sipper, you might pay as little as JPY2324 per month for your combined White Plan, S! Basic Pack, and Packet Flat-rate Full data plan (though once you start playing with web sites and the App Store and other iPhone goodies, you're not likely to stick to that data diet).

The move is SoftBank's response to competitor DoCoMo recently dropping its minimum packet plan fee to JPY1029. Keep duking it out on price, boys; I've got lots of stuff to download!
