A computer network glitch on Monday prevented reception of e-mail sent by users of NTT DoCoMo Inc's i-mode Internet mobile phones for more than nine hours in central Japan, said Japan Today.
The disruption affected 1.83 million of the 12 million i-mode handsets used in central Japanese prefectures stretching from the Tokyo metropolitan area to Niigata Prefecture on the Sea of Japan, reported Kyodo News.
