January 29, 2004

NTT DoCoMo announced that Japanese customers of its 3G FOMA -based WORLD CALL service will be able to exchange videophone calls with customers of compatible 3G / W-CDMA services offered by 3 HK in Hong Kong beginning February 6.

To make a video call to Hong Kong, DoCoMo subscribers simply dial 009130-010-852 followed by the local mobile number of the 3 HK user. The cost is 44 yen per 10 seconds or 264 yen per minute.

Users can also dial into any private LANs in Hong Kong for 64 kbps data transmissions.

FOMA customers in Japan have been enjoying similar services with customers of Hutchison 3G UK in the United Kingdom since last October. DoCoMo is continuing to expand its WORLD CALL videophone call service by leveraging W-CDMA technology, an international standard for 3G mobile telecommunications.

In line with official requirements, DoCoMo notified the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications of the new service.
