'''FOTA''' is an acronym for Firmware Over-the-air. It is used for upgrades to mobile phones and [[Personal_digital_assistant|PDA]]s. Normally you have to go to a specific service center (every mobile brand has their own) to get a [[firmware]] upgrade. Or some phone models can be upgraded by connecting your phone via a cable to your PC. But both methods are considered inconvenient, and therefore the majority of mobile phone manufacturers have now adopted FOTA technology for their handsets. If the mobile phone has FOTA capability, you can instead download the firmware upgrade directly from your mobile phone. The process typically takes between 3 and 10 minutes, depending on the size of the upgrade file and the speed of your wireless connection. |

[[Open Mobile Alliance]] has released speciification on [http://www.openmobilealliance.org/release_program/fumo_v1_0.html Firmware Update Management] which standardise the method for FOTA. |

Most major mobile phone manufacturers provide information about software updating on their web sites, typically in their customer support section. They usually list which handset models support over-the-air software updating (via FOTA) or which ones still require use of a cable. |
