Japan Communications announced that the launch of Neo Career's new service would be postponed by approximately 5 months. The delay was caused by technical issues identified in the interconnection of NTT DOCOMO's voice and SMS networks. The launch date will be announced again after the issues are resolved and interconnection testing with the relevant companies is completed.
On 28 October, Japan Communications announced that the launch of Neo Career's new service would be postponed by approximately 5 months from the originally scheduled date of 24 November. The reason for the delay was the discovery of technical issues in interconnecting with NTT DOCOMO's voice communications and SMS networks. The launch date will be announced again after the issues are resolved and interconnection testing with the relevant companies is completed.
Japan Communications reached an agreement with DOCOMO in February 2024 on interconnection with its voice and SMS networks and has continued development. In July 2026, it signed an interconnection agreement with DOCOMO and began full-scale preparations to provide services using DOCOMO facilities, but technical issues were identified during the interconnection process, leading to the decision to postpone the launch.
The new service was initially scheduled to launch on 24 May 2026, but this was changed in November 2025 to 24 November 2026, making this the second postponement. The new launch timing is expected to be approximately 5 months later, and the specific launch date will be announced again after the issues are resolved and the testing schedule is coordinated.
