The only flat rate data is H" by DDI-Pocket (or equivalent
service by DoCoMo).
How much it costs will depend on the data rate you want.
for 64kbps it's about YEN 6000/month and for
128kbps it's about YEN 9000/month flat.
3G by DoCoMo, AU or Vodafone offers you much higher
data rates, AU-WIN up to 2.4 Mbps, but the fees are
much higher and there is no flat rate.
We have graphics comparing all the different data
costs depending on usage / month in our 3G report
http://www.eurotechnology.com/store/3G/
- if you go for 3G then whether DoCoMo, Au or Vodafone
is cheaper or better depends very much on the
details of what you need.
Hope this helps
