RFC 4770: vCard Extensions for Instant Messaging (IM)

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 6350.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 6350 — vCard Format Specification

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes an extension to vCard to support Instant Messaging (IM) and Presence Protocol (PP) applications. IM and PP are becoming increasingly common ways of communicating, and users want to save this contact information in their address books. It allows a URI that is associated with IM or PP to be specified inside a vCard. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
