BigAdda.com, the most widely used social network portal in India and made in India as well has launched its mobile version past week to catch the ramping mobile usage by Indian crowd. The company launched the Mobile version of BigAdda in two parts – online version (wap.bigadda.com) and Downloadable version called Mobile Adda (not to be confused with website with similar name).
When it comes to features it is providing this is probably the first time that an Indian made social network is providing such features on mobile platform such as – inviting friends from your phonebook and to use the in-built phonebook in mobile handsets to send invitations to his/her friends network, as phone-book on mobile devices is the closest replica of ones social & professional contacts.
Moreover, the built in phone book backup utility stores your phone book on BigAdda servers and if in case a user changes a device, the same can be retrieved – an alternative to back-up your contacts on your mobile devices and thats too free of any cost.

Apart from above Mobile Adda’s includes key features of social networking like searching for friends, inviting them from your phonebook, communicating with them through options such as text, voice and photo scribbles along with auto-updates, alert and notifications and helpful tips.
