[[NTT DoCoMo]]'s '''i-mode''' ({{langx|ja|iモード}}, {{transliteration|ja|ai-mōdo}}) is a [[mobile internet]] (distinct from [[wireless internet]]) service popular in [[Japan]]. Unlike [[Wireless Application Protocol]]s, i-mode encompasses a wider variety of internet standards, including web access, [[e-mail]], and the [[packet-switched network]] that delivers the data. i-mode users also have access to other various services such as: sports results, [[weather forecast]]s, [[Mobile game|games]], financial services, and ticket booking. Content is provided by specialised services, typically from the [[mobile carrier]], which allows them to have tighter control over billing.

Like WAP, i-mode delivers only those services that are specifically converted for the service, or are converted through gateways.
