One-Coin Support Service to Relieve Concerns about Handsets and Communications HIS Mobile Care" will be launched on September 1.

H.I.S.Mobile株式会社

H.I.S. Mobile K.K. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Eichi Inokoshi, President; hereinafter "HIS Mobile") will start offering "HIS Mobile Care," a support service to solve various concerns about handsets and communications for 500 yen per month (excluding tax) from September 1, 2023 (Friday).


Main banner


The ownership rate of digital devices (PCs, tablets, smartphones, etc.) is on the rise (97.3%*1 of all mobile devices will be owned by households in 2021), and they have become familiar necessities. The price of smartphones, in particular, is becoming more expensive every year, and the number of cases of damage to digital devices and loss of data is expected to increase as the number of people who use smartphones for a long time increases. In addition, as the number of subscribers to our low-cost SIMs (such as the Jiyu Jiyu 290 Plan*2 ) increases, the number of customers with limited knowledge of telecommunications and smartphones has also increased, and many customers have expressed a desire for more extensive support and smartphone operation and settings.

Against this backdrop, we are launching this service to provide customers with comprehensive and inexpensive solutions to their concerns about handsets and communications by offering compensation for repairs and data loss of their digital devices, as well as support for our services and smartphones.
