DoCoMo USA announces “Namikiteru” service Third Anniversary Campaign
--- Monthly user base surpasses the 10,000 mark ---
NTT DoCoMo USA, Inc., the American subsidiary of
NTT DoCoMo, Inc., Japan's largest mobile communications company, marks the third
anniversary of the start of “namikiteru®” service with a promotion waiving
account registration fees for new subscribers.
Introduced in October 2004, “namikiteru” is DoCoMo USA’s WiFi
connection service with Japanese language customer support. Increased WiFi spot
coverage (including Japan Airline’s lounge at JFK International Airport and ANA's
lounge at Dulles International Airport), and the introduction of ”Namimail®,” software
which enables a BlackBerry® device to read and write Japanese, have boosted
subscriber numbers. Over
10,000 users have made the most of these services.
“Namimail” software supports the BlackBerry 8707h device that was released
in Japan in September 2006, as well as the BlackBerry 8707g device which DoCoMo
USA markets in the USA and which offers roaming capability in Japan. DoCoMo
USA plans for “Namimail” to be compatible with a wide variety of devices to meet
the needs of Japanese living overseas.
For the month of September 2007, the $20 account registration fee will be waived
for new subscribers applying for namikiteru service. For further details about
subscription fees (in English and Japanese), please visit the
www.namikiteru.com website.
