Local information search company JustDial has gone mobile with a WAP site – wap.justdial.com. I’m surprised that they didn’t launch SMS services, and hence gain access to a larger mobile user base, given the low GPRS penetration in the country. There appears to be a click2call facility – giving users the opportunity to call the numbers displayed in the search result. Currently, JustDial’s Internet and mobile service covers 40 cities, while their regular telephone service is available in 42 cities, and they probably have a huge database of users across these cities. There are issues with spam, and sharing user information, though. We’d broken the story last year, of JustDial receiving an undisclosed amount of funding from SAIF Partners.
