NTT Docomo has announced that it will stop accepting applications for its 2G Mova mobile phone service nationwide on November 30. Docomo has two main mobile phone services: Mova (2G service) and Foma (3G service). Given that Mova subscribers keep constantly migrating to Foma service, the company has decided to stop Mova and concentrate in the popular 3G service.
Docomo’s effort towards new generation mobile services and the fact that 1 million Mova subscribers per month migrate to Foma, will help their aim of becoming the first mobile market to have “only” 3G – or even higher speed – networks. In addition Docomo will help subscribers migrate to Foma not charging the usual 2,100 yen for subscriptions beginning August 8.
Docomo is the world’s leading mobile communications company. It serves over 53 million customers, including 45 million people subscribing to their Foma 3G service.
