JSR 205 - Wireless Messaging API 2.0

The Wireless Messaging API (WMA) 2.0 is a superset of WMA 1.0 (JSR 120). It gives Java ME developers the ability to send and receive messages via the Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and Cell Broadcast Service (CBS) formats. Because messaging is one of the more popular uses for mobile handsets, WMA allows developers to incorporate messaging into other applications on these devices.
