What is i-channel?
i-channel is a service whereby news, weather
and other information is sent as graphical
information to i-channel compatible terminals
from DoCoMo or IPs (information service
providers).
Information is periodically received and the
latest information appears as telop text on the
standby screen. Pressing the i-channel key
(
u
) displays the channel list (p.204).
Selecting a channel from the list provides you
with rich, detailed information.

“Basic channel” is provided by NTT DoCoMo

that you can view the channels from when
you start subscribing to i-channel. The packet
communication charge for automatically
updating the information sent for the “Basic
channel” is included in the i-channel service
charge. “Favorite channel” is provided by IPs
(information service providers) other than
NTT DoCoMo. You can select and register
any channels of your liking. The packet
communication charge for automatically
updating the information sent for the “Favorite
channel” is not included in the i-channel
service charge.
Incidentally, it is only “Basic channels”
information that can be displayed as a telop
on the Stand-by display.
* i-channel is a pay service you need to subscribe to (To
subscribe to the i-channel, you need to subscribe to
i-mode beforehand).
