Reliance Communications, India’s largest and only nationwide operator offering both GSM and CDMA mobile services, today announced the launch of its trendy new VAS application – Socially, made available through its data portal RWorld. The new application is designed to enable users to follow the recent activity of friends and to update their status on different social networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn through a single client.
Socially also shows up-to-date social information of the caller during an incoming call and collates significant events across social networks and pushes them as alerts on select smartphones supporting the application, enabling users to have better conversations.
Mr. Krishna Durbha, Head – VAS, Reliance Communications, said, “An address book is at the core of mobile usage.
