TOKYO, JAPAN, November 22, 2002 --- NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional subsidiaries today announced plans to add a function to DoCoMo's
i-shot™ service, that will make it more convenient for recipients of i-shot messages to send replies. The new function will be available nationwide from February 17, 2003.
Currently, the i-shot center's e-mail address,
photo-server@docomo-camera.ne.jp, appears in the "from" line of incoming mail. To reply, i-shot mail recipients must input the correct address of the i-shot mail sender. Recipients can identify the i-shot mail sender by the mobile phone number that is shown at the top of the incoming message.
With the new system, i-shot mail recipients will be able to reply to incoming messages simply by selecting the "reply" option, making the i-shot service more versatile.
In addition, i-shot users can choose whether or not they would like their phone number to be included at the top of a message when sent to another party and set their handsets accordingly. As the default, phone numbers do not appear.
Launched in June 2002, DoCoMo's popular i-shot service allows users to transmit still images taken with compatible mobile phones having built-in digital cameras. The service has proved a major hit with the Japanese market and currently has more than 2.5 million subscribers, a figure that continues to grow.
