Osaifu-Keitai/ToruCa
What is Osaifu-Keitai?
"Osaifu-Keitai" refers to a useful IC card function
of an i-mode terminal (i-mode FeliCa) or to an
i-mode terminal equipped with an IC card.
FeliCa is a type of contactless IC card
technology that allows you to read/write data
simply by holding the card over a reader/writer
unit.
*
Simply hold an Osaifu-Keitai over a reader/
writer unit in a shop to use your phone as
electronic cash to make payments, as an airline
ticket or point card. Your FOMA terminal makes
your life more convenient.
Osaifu-Keitai is more useful than the existing
FeliCa-compatible contactless IC cards in that
you can even transmit electronic cash into the
IC card of your Osaifu-Keitai or check the
account balance or transaction history.
*: A unit that reads data from and writes data to
IC cards.
