Hello. May I help you?

I'd like to make a contact with you. I'm actually considering a prepaid plan to keep costs down.

自然な表現

I'd like to get a phone contact with you. I'm actually considering a prepaid plan to keep costs down.

1. Better word choice.
2. Additional expression.
Oh, I see. That is a very brilliant point that you have made. Could you tell me what your budget is then?

Now, I'm using another company, and it costs about 5,000 yen monthly. If possible, I would like to keep it within 4,000 yen.

自然な表現

Now, I'm using another company, and my monthly phone bill is about 5,000 yen. If possible, I would like to keep it below 4,000 yen.

1. Better phrasing.
2. Better word choice.
Oh, okay. Here are a few options that are within that budget that you would like. Anything you like on the flier?

Well, does this plan include all call charges?

自然な表現

Well, does this plan include all call charges?

1. Here is an alternative expression, "are all call charges included in this plan?"
Yes, it definitely does. It actually offers 300 minutes of calls for a month. What do you think about that?

I understand. What happens if I make a call more than 300 minutes? How about Wi-Fi service? Is there any limit on this plan?

自然な表現

I understand. What happens if I use more than 300 minutes a month? How about Wi-Fi services? Are there any limits on this plan?

1. This is much better phrasing.
2. Use the plural form when speaking in general terms.
Well, you would need to pay for the other minutes but you still get a really good offer of 10 dollars for every a hundred minutes. Is that clear?

Thank you. I understand the call charges. How about Wi-Fi charges. Is it included to some extent?

自然な表現

Thank you. I understand now. How about Wi-Fi charges. Is a data plan included in this package?

1. Other words are redundant here.
2. Better phrasing.
