StarHub starts i-mode trials in Singapore
It's finally here. After almost six years since its introduction in Japan, the much-talked-about i-mode service is at last making its debut in Singapore. It will be offered exclusively through local mobile service provider StarHub, which recently invited selected users to participate in the pre-launch trials.
As part of the registration process, customers are required to purchase a phone at a special price and sign up for a mobile plan with mobile operator. In return, they will enjoy free subscription to data services as well as other benefits up till the end of 2005. The company has not announced the cost or details of the i-mode subscription plans at this point, but we do expect the information to be made available closer to its widely speculated November launch date.
