MSN Messenger on your 3 mobile

Tue, 21 Mar 2006

Microsoft and mobile operator 3 today announced plans to offer customers the chance to access MSN Messenger and MSN Hotmail, through the 3 portal and installed software clients on 3G handsets.

According to a press release from 3 Group, a division of Hutchison Whampoa's division, these services will provide millions of customers with different ways to stay in touch using their 3G mobile phone.

The move means 3 customers will be able to access Hotmail with their existing login information, using either a mobile web browser, or by downloading a special software client.

By connecting MSN and 3 customers both companies expect more frequent interaction between mobile-to-mobile, and PC-to-mobile customers.

Three customers will be able to see when their contacts are online and interact with them from their mobile phone. They will also be able to read, send and delete emails from their Hotmail inbox as well as get an 'at a glance' inbox view.

Later this year, 3 will also be able to offer access to Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Mail, two of the exciting next generation software services from Microsoft that puts the user in control and connects them to the people and information that matters most.

In all five million of the company’s 12 million mobile subscribers will have access to the Hotmail and Messenger services once initial usability testing is completed.
