What Is I-Channel; Using I-Channel - Foma P906i Instruction Manual

What is i-Channel?

This service distributes graphical information such as news and weather
forecast to i-Channel mobile phones. You periodically receive
information and the latest one flows on the Stand-by display by tickers.
You can read it on the i-Channel list by pressing the i-Channel key. (See
page 195)
Further, two types of channels, "Basic channel" provided by DoCoMo
and "Favorite channel" provided by IPs (Information Providers) are
available. You are not charged a packet communication fee for
auto-updates of "Basic channel" information.
You are charged a packet communication fee for auto-updates of
"Favorite channel" information which is enabled by registering your
favorite channels. Note that you are separately charged a packet
communication fee for browsing detailed information.
When you use the international roaming service, you are charged a
packet communication fee for both auto-update and browsing detailed
information.
