NTT DOCOMO announced today it will discontinue its 2G mova service (including car phone and Pre-Call prepaid services), which began in March 1993, as well as its 2G DoPa packet communication service, which began in March 1997, at the end of March 2012. Associated services and related billing plans will also be terminated at the same time.



For mova customers who wish to shift to FOMA (3G), the company has launched a campaign offering discounts on the cost of purchasing a 3G handset and the waiving of any related administrative fees. DoPa Single customers making the transition to FOMA will receive cash back and will not be charged any administrative fees.
