MESSEMS is a powerful tool that allows the use of instant messaging services such as MSN Messenger®, Yahoo! Messenger®, ICQ®, Google Talk®, and others, via text messages (SMS) from a mobile cellular telephone. This gives users the power to chat through instant messaging with any other user of these services, logged on from a computer or another mobile cellular telephone.

Messages are processed and sent immediately, enabling users to hold their conversations with contacts in real time. The messages exchanged during a conversation are viewed on the mobile handset as a regular text message.

• Log on to their instant messaging service (MSN Messenger®, Yahoo! Messenger®, ICQ®, and others) and communicate with their contacts, who may be online from a computer or their mobile, anywhere in the world.
• Create chat groups.
• Add, delete, block, and unblock contacts.
• Accept or reject invitations to be added to other users’ contact lists.
• Change online status and nickname to be displayed to other users, among other functions.

MESSEMS is an ideal solution, because with a very marginal investment, cellular carriers can substantially increase the SMS traffic generated by their subscribers when they use the MESSEMS system.

• Income generated through SMS traffic generated by the MESSEMS system considerably improves the carrier’s ARPU, by added value or SMS revenue.
• Easy to manage, requires practically no maintenance.
• The carrier incurs no management or operational costs for the system. A2 System takes care of any maintenance and updates whenever needed.
• The system helps increase the carrier’s subscriber base.
