The au Smart Support service, which will be available for an initial subscription charge of \3,150 (tax included) and a monthly charge of \399 (tax included) starting on the fourth month after subscription, will provide comprehensive support tailored to the needs of each individual customer, including those who might think, "I bought it, but I can't master it" or "I want to buy it, but am not sure if I'll be able to use it".

Customers will have access to a variety of membership privileges through the service, including a full-time customer support team that provides 24-hour[1], 365-day assistance via the au Smart Support Center, on everything from configuring the initial settings on au smartphones, to new operating tips. Other privileges include the On-site Smartphone Support service[2], in which a representative travels to the customer's location to provide assistance with au smartphones, and the Smartphone Trial Rental service, which may help to eliminate anxiety before purchasing an au smartphone.
