What Is Osaifu-Keitai; What Is The Ic Transfer Service - Sony Ericsson FOMA SO905iCS Manual

What is Osaifu-Keitai?

"Osaifu-Keitai" provides convenient i-mode
f u n c t i o n s ( i - m o d e F e l i C a ) t h a t c a n b e
performed using the IC card inserted in an
i-mode terminal.
FeliCa adopts a contactless IC card technology
that enables data to be read/written just by
scanning.
You can simply hold up your Osaifu-Keitai to a
reading device in stores that provide the FeliCa
service to pay using e-money, or use it as an
airplane ticket or point card. With features like
Osaifu-Keitai, your mobile phone becomes an
increasingly handy tool.
This latest FeliCa is even more convenient to
use compared with previous versions of the
FeliCa-compatible contactless IC card. For
example, you can deposit e-money in Osaifu-
Keitai on the IC card, and check the balance
and purchase history using communications.
※ To use Osaifu-Keitai-compatible services, you
need to make the necessary settings using i-αppli
software (IC appli) supporting IC card function
(check with IP (information service providers) for
more details).
※ For precautions on the use of each Osaifu-Keitai-
compatible service, see the "Mobile Phone User's
Guide 【i-mode】 FOMA version".
● The data on the IC card could be lost/changed
due to an Osaifu-Keitai trouble (Note that, as
a rule, when your Osaifu-Keitai is left with us
such as for repairs, we can take it only when all
data is deleted. Therefore, you are requested
to delete the data yourself). You are requested
to use the backup services provided by IP
(information service providers) to support for
reissuing, restoring, holding temporarily, or
transferring data except transferring data by the
iC transfer service. Check with IP (information
service providers) whether the backup service
is provided, for the usage conditions (such as
necessary prior procedures or fees), or whether
the iC transfer service is supported beforehand
because those vary from one service to another.
Please make sure to use the services supporting
the backup services for important data.

● DoCoMo shall not be liable for any data loss/
change of the information saved on the IC card
or any damage occurred relating to using Osaifu-
Keitai-compatible services regardless of any
reasons such as trouble or changing to another
FOMA terminal.
● If you should lose the Osaifu-Keitai or have
it stolen, immediately contact the Osaifu-
Keitai-compatible service provider you use
for operations which have to be done in this
situation. For this FOMA terminal, both the
Omakase Lock (P.136) and IC card lock (P.262)
can be used.
What is the iC transfer
service?
The iC transfer service※1 is a service
provided for transferring all data stored on
the IC card at once※2 to a new Osaifu-Keitai
※3 when the Osaifu-Keitai is replaced such
as for changing to another FOMA terminal or
trouble repair. Once the data stored in the IC
card is transferred to the new Osaifu-Keitai,
you can use Osaifu-Keitai-compatible services
by simply downloading the Osaifu-Keitai-
compatible i-αppli.
You can use the iC transfer service at our
service counter of your local DoCoMo shop,
etc.
For details, see the "Mobile Phone User's
Guide 【i-mode】 FOMA version".
※1 There is a processing charge for the use of the iC
transfer service. (There are some cases where no
charges apply.) Packet communication charges
apply for IC appli downloads and various settings.
※2 There are some Osaifu-Keitai-compatible services
that do not support the all data transfer function.
Unsupported services are deleted when you
use the iC transfer service. Therefore, utilize the
backup service of each Osaifu-Keitai-compatible
service or delete them before you use the iC
transfer service.
※3 The iC transfer service can be used only the
Osaifu-Keitai where the data is transferred to has
to be the compatible model with the iC transfer
service.
