TOKYO - September 9, 2021 - Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (TSE1: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced that from September 11, 2021, the domestic voice call fee for individual customers of IIJ's Mobile Virtual Network Operator service "IIJmio Mobile Service Giga Plan," "IIJmio Mobile Service," and "IIJmio Mobile Plus Service" will be revised, with the standard fee lowered to JPY 11/30 seconds (including tax) and the voice call fee between subscribers with the same ID (mioID) lowered to JPY 8.8/30 seconds (including tax).

Up to this point, domestic calls from the Miofone Dial app, as well as domestic calls using the prefix number (0037-691) at the beginning, have been discounted (half price); however, with these fee revisions, standard calls will be charged at the same rate as the discount rate: JPY 11 /30 seconds (including tax).

Customers using type D (DOCOMO network) or type A (au 4G LTE network) voice SIMs will be able to enjoy voice calls with this low fee and will not need using the Miofone Dial app or adding the prefix number.
