Terminals

NTT DoCoMo offers a wide range of FOMA branded terminals, which are made specifically for the Japanese market. FOMA terminals differ from Western UMTS terminals in several aspects, for example:

  • Standardised menu structure and chargers.
  • Japan-specific features such as i-mode or Osaifu-Keitai (electronic purse).
  • Multiband-support, which includes band VI at 800 MHz for FOMA Plus-Area (newer models).
  • No support for dual-mode operation with GSM/EDGE (except some models branded as World Wing).
