Mobile users are an expressive lot, using a variety of channels to communicate and stay in touch. It can become quite a hassle to manage multiple messaging applications, especially when one is constantly on the go.

The aptly-named MUM, or Mobile Unified Messaging solution, is a universal mobile instant messaging platform that brings diverse messaging networks together while supplementing them with secure end-to-end encryption and highly-intuitive navigation.

When subscribed to and downloaded as a mobile application, MUM provides users with a single point of entry to various Mobile IM, SMS, Email Forward and Voice messaging communities.

Additionally, to enable simpler management of messaging applications, MUM also allows for access to various preferred messaging applications via a single Mobile IM ID.

Telcos can offer this application to subscribers using virtually any mobile device for a monthly subscription access fee.
