The Mobile Instant Messenger is a Java application which runs on Java enabled mobile phones. It provides communication on a private messaging network. Each phone can be configured as a user by registering it with the network. That user can then either be logged into the network or logged out of the network. Users can build a collection of other users in the network, known as Friends, with whom they can message.
