SNAP Mobile can enforce unique user identities, for example, by associating one MSISDN or some other operator provided unique user identifier with one user ID. | | Lets users establish a contact list for messaging and gameplay challenges. SNAP Mobile friends list is the ‘little black book’ for the connected gaming community experience.

Presence indicators typically identify the friends who are online, offline, or away (players who are online but do not want to be disturbed). | | Lets users send messages to friends and other users whether the friends are online or offline, and whether the users are in a lobby or in a gameroom. | | Encourage online competition among players.
