WILLCOM Introduces New "Data Fixed Rate Plan" - Will Make Accessing the Internet from Voice Handsets More Enjoyable

Willcom and Willcom Okinawa will begin in late November 2005 a new Data Fixed Rate Plan for customers using its Willcom Fixed Rate Plan voice service. Used in conjunction with Willcom's new voice handsets scheduled for release in the same period, customers will be able to access the Internet comfortably and at a reasonable price.

Please refer to the separate document for more details.

1. "Data Fixed Rate Plan" Service Outline
Willcom has already launched its free "Willcom Fixed Rate Plan" which, for only the price of the basic monthly usage fee, can be used for voice telephone calls with other Willcom handsets as well as email (including email with other company mobile phones and PCs), and which has proved popular with customers.

Now, we are offering a "Data Fixed Rate Plan" which "Willcom Fixed Rate Plan" customers can use as a standard fee for 4x packet data communications. Furthermore, together with the launch of the "Data Fixed Rate Plan", a new voice handset has been put on sale. A full browser has been pre-installed in the new voice handset, and it is in response to the use of 4x packet data communications. Under this plan, "voice", "mail", and "4x packet data internet" can now all be used for a Fixed Rate. With the assurance provided by the "Fixed Rate" as the key, Willcom offers a newer form of "communications luxury".
2. Offer Charges
1. Internet Usage from Single Voice Handset
2. Data Usage when Connected to a PC
Data communications fees when connected to a PC, non-Willcom providers on the internal browser, and PRIN access points are as follows:

* When combined with the use of a voice handset, the charge is calculated by adding the number of data packets on voice handset number to the number of data packets used on PC.
* However, when the number of packets on a voice handset exceeds 360,000, the number in excess of 360,000 is not counted and the charge will not exceed 3,800 yen.

3. Offer Launch Period
Launch planned for late November 2005
* May be used in conjunction with new handset sales.
4. Other
1. Area of Offer
    Nationwide
2. Compatible Communication Systems
