Payment by Automatic Payment (Application and Change)

This page introduces payment procedures (including procedures to change the payment method from the current one), financial institutions that can be used, and notes regarding the payment of monthly usage charges through automatic payment.

  • Monthly usage charges will be billed by NTT Finance, a wholly owned company of the NTT Group that provides billing and collection services.
  • For customers subscribed to the ahamo billing plan, check New windowPayment and Billing for ahamo (in Japanese only).

Notes

  • When the procedure for paying by automatic payment is completed, DOCOMO will consider you to have applied for the provision of billing information notices by electronic media (e-billing service) according to the terms of the agreement with DOCOMO (except when some services and discounts are used). However, upon request, DOCOMO can issue and send by post last month's receipt and an automatic payment notice of the amount of the current month's automatic payment if you pay an issuing fee specified separately in the service agreement with DOCOMO for each bill.
  • If the procedure for paying by automatic payment is not completed or if transfers failed consecutively, DOCOMO may change the payment method to paying by bill. In such cases, you will be charged an issuing fee specified separately in the service agreement with DOCOMO for each bill.
  • You will be sent bills once or twice until procedures with the financial institution are complete. Please pay those at a docomo Shop, convenience store, or financial institution that handles DOCOMO charges payment.

Terms and Conditions of Automatic Payment by Deposit Account (Excluding a Japan Post Bank Account)

  1. When you (the financial institution) receive a bill that I (the account holder who has a DOCOMO line subscription) have to pay from the company (DOCOMO), please debit the amount in the bill from my deposit account and pay it without notifying me. In this case, I will neither submit my bankbook and savings withdrawal form nor issue a check, regardless of the terms and conditions of deposit accounts or the terms and conditions of current accounts.
  2. If the amount in the bill exceeds the amount that can be withdrawn from my deposit account (including the amount within my overdraft limit) on the day of payment, you may return the bill to the company without notifying me.
  3. If I want to terminate this agreement, I will notify you thereof in writing. If there are reasonable reasons to believe this agreement is terminated, for example, when you do not receive a bill from the company for a long period of time without there being any notification, you may regard this agreement as terminated, unless I notify you otherwise.
  4. Even if a dispute arises regarding this payment by deposit account, you will not be troubled, unless you are responsible for the matter.
  • If the Japan Post Bank is specified, the terms and conditions of automatic payment designated by the Japan Post Bank apply.
