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). Your FOMA terminal periodically
receives the latest information and displays it as
ticker on the standby screen. Pressing the
i-Channel key (
u
) displays the channel list
(p.237). Selecting a channel from the list
provides you with rich, detailed information.

Channel types
The channels are categorized into two types:
"Basic channels" and "Favorite channels".
"Basic channels" are provided by NTT
DoCoMo and registered by default, so that
you can view the channels immediately after
you start subscribing to i-Channel. The
packet communication charge for
automatically updating the information sent
for the "Basic channels" is included in the
i-Channel service charge. "Favorite channels"
are 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 channels" is not included in
the i-Channel service charge.
Both "Basic channels" and "Favorite
channels" information can be displayed as a
ticker on the standby screen.
* 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).
