In today’s world the mobiles are getting well advanced to spend your regular web-life on it. We have iPhones, Blackberry that comes with preloaded stuff to maintain your contacts from the mobile. But to be true not all of us are able to buy such expensive gadgets. This is when the Mig33 comes into action which works on almost all types of phones that has internet connectivity.

This tool is primarily aimed towards getting involved in user created chat-rooms. But there are loads of other stuff that can be done with this. Some of the features that it can boast of are

• Getting most popular IMs like Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Chat & AIM on your mobile.

• Refilling your account with just your ATM-cum-Debit cards(Credit Card not needed). Though this is totally optional in case you want to make cheap international calls.
• Multi-lingual interface.
• Cross platform support i.e it is compatible on almost all mobile platforms.

Now that we have learnt of its versatility lets proceed to the learning process on how to get things done.

2. After the registration is complete, you will be redirected to a page containing the download links of the mig33 software. If you are using your mobile phones to do the download the software will get downloaded to your mobile but if you are using your computer then just just move those downloaded files into your mobile data storage.
3. Now as you signup you will receive a SMS on the mobile number that you used to register. This SMS will contain your username, password & an authentication code(do not lose it).

After you press login you will be asked to enter your Authentication code. Enter it & press continue. Now you will be sent to your start screen(which looks like the screenshot below).
