J-PHONE's J-SKY Service to Rebrand as Vodafone live!
J-PHONE changes mobile internet service name with Vodafone brand adoption
on October 1
Tokyo, July 15, 2003-J-PHONE Co., Ltd. announced today it will change the
name of its J-SKY mobile internet service to Vodafone live! in line with
its complete adoption of the Vodafone brand on October 1, 2003. Vodafone
live! is Vodafone's mobile internet service, launched on October 2002 and
now available in a total of 13 countries including Australia and New
Zealand.
In conjunction with the service name change, from mid-November current
J-SKY e-mail address domains (the section following the "@" mark) will be
changed from the current "jp-X.ne.jp" domain to "X.vodafone.ne.jp"*. As a
measure to prevent the proliferation of spam mail, e-mail addresses using
telephone numbers (<11 digit phone number>@jp-X.ne.jp) will be discontinued
and replaced with unique ones.
Furthermore, after mid-November J-PHONE will implement a system for a set
period whereby users will be able to concurrently receive e-mails sent to
"jp-X.ne.jp" domains and telephone number e-mail addresses.
