I don't understand why microsoft didn't implement chat on mobile devices.ģ. Nowadays you can't find person who doesn't have a smartphone. S4b doesn't support chat on mobile devices. However, with S4b you are able to communicate only with "microsoft account"-ed skype users.Ģ. There is no solution to add people who uses free IM messengers, but skype.
S4b is used only within one organization, but people need to communicate other people who don't have S4b. You may communicate only with companies that uses skype for business, and only if your administrators configure federated trust with that company. For people it's easier to communicate via whatsapp. With whatsapp people may chat with anyone who has whatsapp application.
