AOL Mobile Communicator going dark
ziffdavis.com | at | by Mike
America Online Inc. has notified users of its AOL Mobile Communicator device that their service will be cut off effective August 1. AOL stopped accepting new orders for the Mobile Communicator service in July 2002.
In an e-mail to Mobile Communicator users, AOL affirmed its commitment to wireless services and cited its AOL Anywhere services, which are available on many wireless phones and for Palm OS. Former Mobile Communicator users will also be eligible for $100 off of the new color T-Mobile Sidekick device, which can access AOL e-mail and instant messaging.
