Canada's Bell Mobility adds MSN IM service
Sept.
6, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Mobile messaging software provider
OZ today announced that Canada's Bell Mobility has deployed
OZ's Mobile IM software, enabling customers to use Microsoft's
MSN Messenger instant messaging (IM) service on their mobile
phones.
Studies
show that Canadians are avid users of text and instant messaging;
in fact, Canadians send more than 3.4 million mobile text
messages a day, according to the statement from OZ.
Working
with the leading instant messaging service providers, the
OZ Mobile IM Client enables mobile operators to offer a mobile
IM experience that looks familiar to users' existing desktop
IM services, and allows end-users to select which IM service
they would like to use. The OZ client does this within a small
memory footprint, according to OZ.
Bell
Mobility users can connect to their existing MSN accounts
by downloading the Mobile IM client over-the-air and directly
to their phone. Once completed, consumers are ready to connect
to their MSN Messenger list in three steps:
- Select
‘MSN Messenger’ from the application folder.
- Enter
in their existing username and password.
- Within
seconds they are up and running, able to chat with members
of their existing contact list.
