The iDial Mobile application enables users to share their availability,

the mode of their mobile phone (shut off, meeting or mute mode). iDial Mobile
application also identifies automatically the nearest WLAN and GSM network
and shares the location of a community member. Users can also write personal
messages in a status field, an option used widely in web communities.

Members of the iDial Mobile Community can place free VoIP calls over the
Internet in WLAN or GSM networks. They can also send and receive chat
messages and engage in multiple simultaneous chat sessions. With a poke
functionality users can send and receive vibrating poke alerts to mobile
phones. The features of iDial Mobile application include automatic updates of
new versions and diverse options for user settings.

The user manages different functionalities of the iDial Mobile
application through a personal web page. Users can update the internet
phonebook, which also shows contacts' calendar, presence and location
details; invite new members to the community; engage in a chat session with
another user's mobile phone; and send poke messages to a mobile phone. The
personal web page includes also real-time calendar, presence and location
information of the user.
