DoCoMo or IPs (Information Providers) distribute news,
weather forecast and others as graphical information to
i-Channel mobile phones. Information is periodically
received and tickers flow on the Stand-by display for the
latest information. You can press the i-Channel key to
show the Channel List. (See page 170)
In addition, by selecting a channel you want to see on the
Channel List, you can obtain detailed information. Also,
two types of channels are available, “Basic channel” and
“Favorite channel”. “Basic channel” is provided by
DoCoMo and comes with the FOMA phone, so you can
browse that channel as soon as you start using i-Channel.
The packet communication fee that is charged for
auto-updates of information distributed through “Basic
channel” is not charged.
“Favorite channel” is provided by IPs (Information
Providers) other than DoCoMo, so you can register and
use any channels you like. The packet communication
fee that is charged for auto-updates of information
distributed through “Favorite channel” is not included
in the i-Channel service fee. However, for both “Basic
channel” and “Favorite channel”, you are charged the
i-Channel service fee plus packet communication fee to
browse detailed information from the Channel List.
Also, the packet communication fee that is charged for
auto-updates of information distributed through the
Basic channel during international roaming is not
included in the i-Channel service fee.

ticker setting is automatically set to off.
p If you cancel the contract for the i-mode service before you
cancel the contract for the i-Channel service, the ticker
setting remains on.
