Mobile-XL of California has partnered with Cellulant Kenya to allow mobile-phone users to download links for the XLBrowser via SMS.

"The XLBrowser mobile-phone application provides our customers with a simple browser where they can access our wide variety of mobile content," said Cellulant CEO Ken Njoroge. "Everything is available to them easily, instantly and, best of all, affordably."

The browser utilizes SMS to provide instant access to global and local information using almost any mobile phone.

The product release helps put Kenyans on par with access to information currently available in many other parts of the world, said Guy Kamgaing-Kouam, CEO of Mobile-XL.

Cellulant is a mobile media company that provides value-added services for mobile-phone subscribers through text, audio and video. With the new browser, the company expects to serve its 200,000 customers in Botswana, Kenya, Nigeria and the U.K.

The browser is expected to be particularly valuable in Kenya, where Internet and Wireless Application Protocol technologies remain limited, unreliable and expensive.
