【J-フォンがauを追い抜き2位に】 → "写メール"の大ヒット、おめでとうございます。ちなみに私はカメラ付き携帯初号機のSH-04を、発売日の次の日ぐらい(2000年11月上旬)に買いました。たんなる新しもの好きなだけなんですけどね・・・ \(^O^)/
くどいようですが、私がJ-PHONE(当時東京デジタルホン)と契約したのは1996年の1月なので、すでに丸6年経過ですか。あの当時はまだまだポケベル全盛の時代、PHSがブレークする手前だったと思います。だってドコモの端末の値段が約8万円、デジタルホンでも約3万円もしたんですからね。携帯が「持っているだけでかっこいい」いい時代でした。(爆)
そんなこんなで長年使った番号を変えるのもいやだし、長期利用+ロングウェイサポートの割引も最大になっているので、オーストラリアに来ている間も契約継続中です。エルプランだと全く使わなくて月々1,850円だったかな? ちなみに俺の回線が主回線で、副回線に姉と父親がぶらさがっているという変な契約形態。でも、3人合わせて1万円もいかないという"かなりいただけない顧客"だったりします。ぷぷ。
J-PHONE、いまは絶好調みたいですが、これからはDoCoMoもAUもカメラ付きを出してくるし、AUはGPS付きなんて出してますから、うかうかできないですよ~ 3Gのサービスインでも一番遅れをとっているのは事実ですし。
