    Docomo to launch one-day international data service

    MUMBAI: Docomo has announced that it will offer a one-day (24-hour) flat-rate data communications billing plan for customers traveling overseas beginning 2 December.
    The service, called “Global 1 day Pake,” will vary in cost (980 yen, 1,280 yen or 1,580 yen) depending on the country or region of use. For example, the cost will be 980 yen for South Korea, 1,280 yen for UK and 1,580 yen for the US mainland and Hawaii.

     

    The flat rate will apply to the 24-hour period that begins once the customer activates the service. Activation simply requires tapping a button on a dedicated app, or dialing a dedicated number. At the end of the 24-hour period, the packet communication feature in the user’s mobile device will automatically turn off to avoid unintended data usage, providing peace of mind to users concerned about using roaming services overseas.

     

    Customers can apply for the service at Docomo’s sales channels, including Docomo shops and Docomo information centers.

     

    Customers of Docomo’s existing international flat-rate data service, Global Pake-hodai, can flexibly use this service or the new service depending on their handset or other conditions.

     

    Docomo also plans to introduce a roaming service for LTE-based packet communication services outside of Japan by the end of March 2014.

  • Third season of ‘Lost’ starts shooting in Hawaii

    Third season of ‘Lost’ starts shooting in Hawaii

    MUMBAI: ABC has begun production in Hawaii for the third season of the action adventure show Lost. In the US, the third season kicks off in October.

    Lost airs in India on Star Movies.

    For the uninitiated, Lost deals with the survivors of a plane crash. After Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island, its survivors were forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discovered that the island holds many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, a strange French woman and another group of island residents known as The Others.

    The survivors have also found signs of those who came to the island before them, including a 19th century sailing ship called The Black Rock, the remains of an ancient statue and bunkers belonging to the Dharma Initiative, a group of scientific researchers.

    Jack, Kate and Sawyer open the season in captivity as prisoners of The Others. Just who these Others are and what they want are primary questions Season Three will explore. Michael Emerson joins the regular cast in his ongoing role as Henry Gale, leader of The Others.

    The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But as they have discovered during their 60-plus days on the island, danger and mystery loom behind every corner, and those they thought could be trusted may turn against them.
