Softbank Mobile Corp., Japan, will be reducing the minimum monthly basic fee for the iPhone from the current 2,990 yen to 2,324 yen in order to counter the competitor NTT DoCoMo’s new launch of low-charge services. Softbank Mobile has lowered its monthly fees for the 3G iPhone users for the second time now.

The new basic fee will be 5,000 yen lower than the initial charge of 7,280 yen. The cut for minimum monthly charge will be made by lowering fixed fees for services such as email and Internet access.
