If you cancel your Pake-hodai subscription on a day other than the last day of the month and change to a Packet Pack, communications made during the remainder of the month will not be covered by Pake-hodai. You can, however, designate the last day of the month as the date for Pake-hodai cancellation. In that case, communications up to the end of the month will be covered by Pake-hodai.

Therefore, you can use i-mode communications even after the preset limit has been exceeded. (Subscriptions to i-mode fee-based sites can also be cancelled. However, information charges may be incurred at the time of cancellation if canceling during the initial month for sites for which the initial month is provided free of charge.)

• If both Pake-hodai and Pake-hodai full are used in the same month because of circumstances such as a change in service from Pake-hodai to Pake-hodai full, the user is billed the Pake-hodai full flat-rate charge for the month in which the change is made. However, Pake-hodai full will not take effect during the period in which Pake-hodai is effective. Furthermore, if both Pake-hodai and Biz-hodai are used in the same month because of circumstances such as a change in service between Pake-hodai and Biz-hodai, the user is billed the Pake-hodai as well as Biz-hodai flat-rate charges. In such cases, Pake-hodai will not take effect during the period in which Biz-hodai is effective, and Biz-hodai will not take effect during the period in which Pake-hodai is effective.

• The conditions for Pake-hodai use are the same for ISP Content Access only as with i-mode communications.

• Depending on network traffic conditions, communications may become slow or connecting may become difficult. Furthermore, communications may become slower for especially heavy users (amount of packet communications during the last three days including the current day is 3 million packets or more) compared to other users. Please check (Check and pay charges) of My docomo (PC version/i-mode version) for a rough estimate3 of the amount of packet communications you have used over the last three days. Communications may be interrupted if a large amount of data is transmitted within a set amount of time or during a single connection, if the connection time is long, or if you connect continuously within a set amount of time.
• The number of i-mode mail messages (including i-shot and i-motion mail with FOMA) that can be sent in one day is fewer than 1,000 per handset. In addition, you may not be able to send further messages depending on the settings of the receiver (Reject Mass i-mode Mail Senders) if you have sent 500 or more messages per handset in the same day with FOMA.

3 Please note that this only indicates a rough estimate of the amount of communications, so it may differ from the amount of data actually used to calculate your bill because, for example, items such as the amount of usage overseas are not included. Also, the amount of communications is displayed rounded up to the nearest 1,000 packets.
