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).
