Montreal, Canada - July 15, 2002 - OZ Communications Inc., a leading provider of instant communication solutions to wireless operators, announced today that the company has qualified 3 different products as being compliant to the Wireless Village 1.1 specifications for mobile instant messaging and presence services.

Other OZ client applications include 2-way SMS, SIM Toolkit, WAP, Pocket PC, Palm and Symbian, based on the needs of wireless operators.
