Nana mail

This is one of Japanese mail service. When mobile phone in Japan was not had a lot of function and fast internet connection, it was difficult to send photos to friend by e-mails. Nana mail was really great service for old days Japanese mobile phone users especially for young people.

We don't need to register for nana mail. All the things that we must do is change the e-mail address. In Japan there were three types of domains for mobile phones. "docomo.ne.jp", "ezweb.ne.jp" and J-phone. J-phone had 9 types of domains but now there is only one "softbank.ne.jp". (In fact, this is not correct. Please search "SoftBank" on wikipedia or other sites. You can know the facts.)  
If you want send big size file like photo to your friend (12345@docomo.ne.jp), you can use the service of nana mail with change your friend's address to 12345@docomo.ne7.jp. Now you can send big size files. Your friend will receive mail from you but there are some text messages and URL. Your friend access to URL, she or he can see big size file via web browser. Your friend can download that files.

It was useful because we couldn't send or receive big size file like photo from old days' mobile phones. But now. Most of Japanese are using 3G network then we don't have to use this service.

Many friends of mine used to send me photos to me using this service. But these days, no one using this service... In fact, I can't answer the questions like "Is this service still working?"... Maybe we can use it... But I won't guarantee.

Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!
