Aimed at business users, the service enables consumers to stay in touch with colleagues, partners, and customers while in the field.
Digital Rum said it hoped the service will offer users with a more flexible alternative to text messaging while away from the office.
The service is based on the Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 desktop interface, but has been modified to take into account the different phone screen size, layout and functionality.
Marc Sanders, senior product manager at Real-Time Collaboration Group, Microsoft Corp., said: "Instant Messaging and presence are playing an increasingly important role in helping information workers stay in touch with critical business contacts and make better decisions, faster.”
The service allows Symbian OS and J2ME enabled devices to access Microsoft Office Live Communications Server systems through a mobile application set up by Digital Rum.
