Abstract

The two most popular text-messaging systems nowadays are Instant Messaging (IM) and Short Messaging System (SMS). IM runs in computers, where SMS runs through mobile phones. Nowadays, there are numerous efforts done to merge the functionalities of IM into mobile phone. This is due to the fact that IM can provide "presence" of users and less costly. In order to provide the best satisfaction to its users, the mobile IM should be able to communicate to multiple IM service providers. In relation to that, this paper presents the research conducted to develop a mobile IM named Message Conveying System (MCS) that allows it to enable communication with other IM service providers. This was made possible through the implementation of Jabber protocol in MCS, which results in its interoperability with other Jabber-based IM service providers. The MCS was tested to be successfully run on the mobile phone and communicate with the other two Jabber-based IM service providers; Psi and Spark.
