Japan's DoCoMo has announced a service that will enable its 3G phones to connect to home broadband networks via wireless LAN routers, allowing mobile phone users to access 54 Mbps internet services (inc VoIP) beginning in June. The service will be sold under the "Home U" brandname.

VoIP calls to other Home U users will be free of charge, and to non-Home U users will be 30 percent cheaper than normal FOMA charges.

Initially, the service will be compatible with the N906iL onefone, a mobile/W-LAN dual handset that will be sold from the same day that the service starts.

The monthly charge for Home U will be 1,029 yen. No signup fee will be required.
