NTT DoCoMo to Start Trial of Online Payments Service

June 3, 2003

NTT DoCoMo announced a trial payments service to enable i-mode customers using mova 2G and FOMA 3G handsets to enjoy on-line shopping at a dedicated portal site and receive bills for purchases together with their monthly mobile phone invoices. The trial will begin June 26 and last about six months, after which commercial services are planned to start.

Initially, three virtual shops will be offering GPS services, such as tracking and emergency-related services, with an additional five stores joining from September. In total, about 20 virtual shops selling such items as fashion goods, groceries and flowers will be participating in the trial. The online shopping portal site can be accessed at http://dcmm.jp/ (Japanese only).

Users are required to register in advance for the service via the official i-mode portal site. The service is free and users are only required to pay packet transmission charges. During the trial, purchases between 1,000 yen (minimum) and 10,000 yen per month will be accepted.

The payment service is available only for individual, not corporate, subscribers of mova 2G or FOMA 3G i-mode services.
