TOKYO, JAPAN, November 8, 2002 - NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional subsidiaries today announced plans to revise its Personal Handyphone System (PHS) data transmission charges, effective nationwide from December 1, 2002. The new fees will apply to all DoCoMo PHS users who have not registered for
P-p@c™ 10 or P-p@c20 PHS data transmission discount service, yet access internet providers and intranet LAN telephone numbers that are compatible with these services.

For Plan 135, the fee will remain 10 yen per 18 seconds irrespective of transmission hour and distance.
Customers that are registered for the "mopera" internet connection service will continue to be charged 15 yen per minute irrespective of transmission hour, distance and the basic monthly plan they have signed up for.
In line with official requirements, DoCoMo today notified the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, and Posts and Telecommunications of its plans to revise PHS data transmission charges.
