Abstract: A method of optimizing management of presence information over a mobile network includes determining, by a host server, the presence information of a user of a mobile application on a mobile device based on heartbeat messages, while a first connection between the mobile device and the host server is closed, wherein the user is determined to be online when heartbeat messages are received from the mobile device in regular intervals of time.

Abstract: A system, a network, and a mobile device are disclosed in which the mobile device includes an embedded stub that interacts with a global service discovery server to obtain information about an operating server that handles communications from the mobile device. The stub causes the mobile device to communicate with the global service discovery server when the mobile device initially boots up, when the mobile device resets; or when a SIM card is changed. The global service discovery server identifies information for the mobile device such as the network operator, the country of use, the IMEI number, a device manufacturer, a carrier, a country of use, a mobile country code (MCC) and/or a mobile network code (MNC). Once the operating server is identified the mobile device and request and receive application software from the operating server.
