Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method that enable a variety of instant messaging client systems to interact each other either via internet-enabled devices or mobile WAP devices, governed by access control level. All the client systems connected to the instant messaging platform have mobile messaging services capability such as SMS and MMS to send out either text or multimedia message to another client via mobile network; coupled with the ability to initiate voice call using callback method. The present invention allows different client systems to have access to an integrated service combining various communication protocols ranging from wireless communications and automatic messaging to conventional wired communications. The integrated system of the present invention advantageously combines several servers for providing different databases for access by subscribers when logged into the integrated system. Various servers are further provided for implementing module specific tasks and services for supporting the various services delivered to the subscriber.
