for a flat monthly rate of 5,985 yen (including tax). Applications will
be accepted from February 21. The billing plan will be applicable for 15
FOMA handsets already on the market, and for seven others to be marketed
soon.

communications for non-i-mode FOMA handsets M1000 and hTc Z at a monthly

communications using PCs or PDAs, or for use outside Japan
.
