A. It's basically free. Due to legal reforms since 2019, it has become free for almost all carriers.
Q. When will plan changes take effect?
A. Effective from the 1st of the following month for many carriers. It is rare for plans to be reflected within the current month.
Q. How can I check my data usage?
A. You can check using your carrier's official app (My docomo/My au, etc.) or by logging in online. You can also check the "Mobile data communication" settings.
