Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
Many of my contacts on various instant messaging networks use their cellphones to IM. Cellphones have physical limitations to how fast you can type and send a message, and how quickly you can read them.
Depending on whether my contact is on a cellphone at the time or not, I frequently will change my communication behaviour so as to not inconvenience them.
I know that it is possible for the IM client to notify me of whether my contact is on a cellphone or not, as services like Meebo, and clients like Pidgin, or AIM (On windows) will give me this visual indication.
This is a major issue for me, especially considering that some of these contacts pay by the message, all for the want of an icon.
