AT&T Wireless and MSNŽ, the world's most popular online destination, today announced a strategic alliance that will enable consumers to subscribe to MSN Mobile services delivered through their AT&T Wireless' mMode (TM) -capable phones nationwide by the end of the year. The deal will give AT&T Wireless customers mobile access to MSN network content, their MSN HotmailŽ e-mail accounts, MSN Messenger and other offerings as a premium paid service.

The latest alliance between longtime collaborators Microsoft and AT&T Wireless extends MSN Hotmail, the world's leading Web-based e-mail service with 130 million active users worldwide; MSN Messenger, the world's leading free* instant messaging solution; and the entire suite of MSN Mobile services to AT&T Wireless' large customer base. AT&T Wireless mMode customers will be able to add an MSN Mobile subscription to their service; customers with text-messaging phones can subscribe to MSN Mobile two-way text-messaging services.

"This new agreement significantly enhances Microsoft's long-standing relationship with AT&T Wireless, and will provide our mutual customers with wireless access to familiar MSN services that offer a convenient way to stay in touch with the people and information that matter most," said Brian Arbogast, a corporate vice president in the MSN and Personal Services Division at Microsoft Corp. "We're setting the stage for MSN and AT&T Wireless to bring even more advanced services to customers, who are increasingly seeking access to a diverse range of data services on their phones and other devices."
