Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications has said that they are collaborating with the US based Internet giants Yahoo! to bring the ability to communicate with their friends and relatives through mobile Yahoo! Messenger.

This service would be offered to all their customers throughout the country.

This Reliance’s Mobile Instant Messenger would be Yahoo’s first Wireless Village compliant implementation in Asia. This instant messaging solution has been developed by ACL Wireless for Reliance and Yahoo.

Reliance Communications would thus become the sole telecom service provider in the world to offer MIM across Java, BREW and WAP phones on a mobile operator network.

The subscribers to this service would get offline messages by SMS from their buddies on the Yahoo! Messenger service.
