NTT DOCOMO to launch BlackBerry Internet Service on August 1st
Posted by: admin in Mobile
As a response to requests from individuals and small to midsize businesses, NTT DoCoMo is launching BlackBerry Internet Service for direct connection to the World wide web without the need for a dedicated server on August 1st.
The device that’ll “do the work” is the BlackBerry 8707h, which will be sold through the mobile operators's online shop, corporate business division and DOCOMO Shops' corporate business sections on August 1.
The BlackBerry World wide web Service (BIS) will cost 3,045 yen (around $29) per month with taxes. The FOMA basic monthly fee and normal packet charges will apply separately.
In addition, DoCoMo is preparing a discount packet-billing plan to be launched on September 1. The so called BlackBerry Data Transmission Package will enable users to transmit up to 80,000 packets of data per month for a flat charge of 1,680 yen (about $16). Data exceeding this limit will be charged at 0.0525 yen per packet.
The carrier will demonstrate the new BlackBerry World wide web Service during Wireless Japan 2008 at Tokyo Large Sight from July 22nd to 24th.
