Quick answer
NTT Docomo increased the roaming data limit to 40GB for users without the 'Omori' plan, while maintaining the 30GB cap for 'Omori' subscribers due to system limitations.
Japanese mobile operator NTT Docomo has updated its international roaming service terms for subscribers. Under the new rules, users who have not subscribed to the 'Omori' plan can now use up to 40GB of mobile data abroad. However, those who have already activated this plan remain limited to 30GB.
The division stems from the operator’s system architecture. Docomo representatives explained that raising the limit for 'Omori' subscribers would require significant infrastructure modifications, which the company opted not to implement. As a result, users with this plan must account for these constraints when planning trips.
The company emphasized that users should carefully review their plan’s terms before traveling abroad. This helps avoid unexpected restrictions on mobile internet access and additional expenses. The changes are already in effect and must be considered when using roaming services.
