Mobilink Offers Yahoo and GTalk on Mobile Phones

Okay, Mobilink has come up with its in-house application, named as “Chat On” that offers Google Talk and Yahoo Chat services on your Mobile phones using GPRS. I can’t comment anything regarding the level of quality; but this seems very catchy for those who can’t bear their offline status.

We remember that Mobilink has started offering Yahoo messenger on your mobile, largely known as Yahoo Mobile; however then it was SMS based service, while “Chat On” uses GPRS for data communication.
