CellSerf, a Mobile Media and Technology company based out of New Delhi and California has launched an application to allow users to send and receive emails to SMS and Multimedia Messaging services for free. A mobile application for Multimedia Instant Messaging, Global Multimedia Mobile Messaging and Multimedia Email that allows users to go beyond the traditional style of communicating in Text. The application and its services are free to use that means Free SMS and Free MMS.

Using this service you can also check Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger as well as GOogle Talk all together. According to the press release, CellSerf Instant messenger will allow users to send Voice, Picture and Video using MultiMedia Instant Messaging to their friends on Yahoo, MSN or Google Talk. The interesting part of CellSerf IM is that it does not require VoIP or 3G network to send Multimedia IM from mobile. The application uses innovative technology to communicate multimedia content over 2.5G network.

On signing up with CellSerf, users get a mobile email ID that is based on their phone number. For example, a user with mobile number +919898989898 in India gets the mobile email ID 919898989898@cellserf.com. SO if your friends wants to send you something from their desktop to your mobile, they can use this mobile email id. (via: BusinessWireIndia)

The beta version of the application was released in March 2007 and already there are a few thousand beta users of CellSerf around the world. Today was the public launch of CellSeft.

Here is the thing, I checked their website and all I can see is an application called "MultipleX" which is basically java based application and is compatible with the phones that support Java. According to this press release, they are saying that the service is free but when I looked at the site, they have two seperate plans where you have to pay some Rs. 49/Month and 99/Month for plan 1 and 2 respectively. SO its confusing where one side they are saying its free and on the website they have pricing plans.

I personally haven't tried the service as my phone doesn't support java, but from the release, it looks promising. CellSerf's founder Vishal Batra envisioning this application as a part of VAS2.0 where mobile value added services and content are user initiated and community driven. So if you get a chance, give it a try. Website is : CellSerf.com
