NTT DoCoMo and its eight regional subsidiaries will revise upward the i-mode Usage Charge from 210 yen to 315 yen per month (including tax) for both FOMA and mova users, effective June 1, 2008. Packet transmission charges will remain unchanged.

The revision will also cover costs arising from the significant increase in data communication volume that has been sparked by a new trend in mobile internet lifestyles: users downloading a huge number of large files (such as movies and music) with highly functional handsets.

DoCoMo has been offering lower monthly charges for mobile internet service compared to other Japanese mobile phone operators while providing users with an efficient network delivering fast, economical downloads. By further developing its infrastructure and services, DoCoMo intends to continue delivering a positive mobile lifestyle experience to millions of i-mode users.
