05 Nov, 2008, 4:46 pm IST | Shayne Rana | Mobile phones

Offering Indian mobile phone users a near web like experience of Rediff.com services on their mobile handsets, the company has gone live with its mobile client application 'MobileRediff'. This mobile application allows mobile phone users to check latest news updates, access popular Rediff.com services and enjoy real-time access to Rediffmail. These services are integrated into one common application that can be downloaded to mobile phones.

The simple interface of the service allows users to preview email attachments, share files as attachments from mobile phones and also enables users to back up their mobile phone contacts onto the Rediffmail address book. This application also allows users to send and receive Hindi language email and SMS messages. Users can also access and download SMS based content services like ringtones, wallpapers, caller back tones and jokes.


Commenting on the initiative, Uday Sodhi Senior Vice President Interactive services Rediff.com said, "With MobileRediff application we have focused on offering mobile phone users a simple and easy to use interface to access popular Rediff.com's web services. We believe that the ease of use and functionality of the MobileRediff application will appeal to mobile users across India and help make Rediff.com accessible to millions of consumers around the country who do not have access to personal computers."

MobileRediff application is compatible with all leading GPRS enabled mobile handsets and can be accessed at mobile.rediff.com. Users can also download the client directly onto their mobile devices by sending an SMS to 57333. Users can also log on to http://mr.rediff.com for a demo of the application and its functionality.
