i-Mode's here, finally! After almost six years since its introduction in Japan, the much-talked-about i-mode service is being offered exclusively through local mobile service provider StarHub, which recently invited selected users to participate in the pre-launch trials. Under the DoCoMo-StarHub agreement, StarHub will offer i-mode services over both its 2.5G and 3G networks with DoCoMo providing its expertise in patents, branding, marketing, knowledge and technology. As part of the registration process, customers have to purchase a phone at a special price and sign up for a mobile plan with mobile operator. In return, they will enjoy free subscription to data services as well as other benefits up till the end of 2005. There is no information on the cost or details of the i-mode subscription plans 2006- onwards.
And if you have just returned from Mars and missed out on the whole i-Mode revolution, find out more about i-mode here.
