Wireless Village

A client-server protocol created by the OMA standards group for IM (instant messaging) on mobile phones.

Phones with Wireless Village can connect with a standard Wireless Village server on the carrier's network, which can, in turn, connect with one or more IM networks on the Internet. This emilinates the need for software on the phone tied to specific IM networks.
