TOKYO, JAPAN, May 8, 2003 --- NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional subsidiaries announced today that they will reduce charges for calls made from fixed-line telephones operated by telecommunications carriers, including NTT East Corp. and NTT West Corp., to mobile handsets, effective June 1, 2003.
NTT DoCoMo has been continually striving to maintain low rates for calls made from fixed-lines to mobile phones. The latest reduction will decrease fixed-line to mobile rates to nearly the same level as for calls placed from mobile phones to fixed-lines.
Specifically, charges for calls from fixed-lines to PDC and 
mobile phones will be cut by as much as 12%. In addition, the rate for calls made from fixed-line videophones to FOMA videophones via 64 kbps circuit-switched wireless transmissions will be lowered by approximately 10%.
In line with official requirements, the companies today notified the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications of the new rate plan.
