摘要: A method may comprise initiating the sending of first information representing a phone number of a first receiving mobile phone to a server of a packet switched message service (PSMS). According to a first response to the sending of the first information, the sending of an SMS message may be initiated to the first receiving mobile phone. Second information representing a phone number of a second receiving mobile phone may be sent to the server and a packet switched message to the second receiving mobile phone may be initiated. The packet switched message sent to the second receiving mobile phone may be sent via the PSMS. The packet switched message may be delivered to a plurality of receiving mobile wireless devices.

摘要: A system may comprise a sending mobile phone that transmits SMS messages via a cellular network and packet switched messages via a PSMS and at least one server that supports the PSMS and maintains status information. The sending mobile phone may send a second message via a WLAN and via the PSMS, to a receiving mobile phone on a condition that an undelivered message threshold corresponding to the receiving mobile phone has not been exceeded.

摘要: A system may comprise at least one third party server that supports at least one third party content provider and an information storage device for storing capability information. The at least one third party server may be separate from at least one server that supports the service. When a packet-switched message is transmitted from a mobile wireless device of a subscriber to the at least one third party content provider, the at least one server that supports the service may not reveal a mobile phone number of the subscriber to the at least one third party content provider. The at least one third party server may receive the packet-switched message from the at least one server that supports the service with a mapping identifier that maps to the mobile phone number of the subscriber that transmitted the packet-switched message.

摘要: A wireless device for providing a message service is disclosed, along with a computer readable medium. The wireless device may be capable of sending messages via a packet switched WLAN base station in a first mode, or via an SMS base station that is independent of the packet switched base station, in a second mode. A message client on the wireless device determines whether a recipient's wireless device corresponds to a subscriber of a service for receiving the outgoing message via a packet switched bearer. The wireless device sends, via a WLAN transceiver, if the recipient's wireless device corresponds to a subscriber of the service, the outgoing message to the recipient's wireless device in the first mode. Alternatively, if the recipient's wireless device does not correspond to a subscriber of the service, the outgoing message is sent by a cellular transmitter via the SMS base station in the second mode.

摘要: A method may be performed by a sending mobile phone that transmits SMS messages and transmits packet switched messages via a PSMS. The method may comprise sending first information representing a phone number of a first receiving mobile phone and receiving a first response to the sending of the first information. After the first response is received by the sending mobile phone, an SMS message may be sent to the first receiving mobile phone, based on the first response. Second information representing a phone number of a second receiving mobile phone may be sent by the sending mobile phone and a second response to the sending of the second information may be received. After the second response is received by the sending mobile phone, a message may be sent via a WLAN and the PSMS, to the second receiving mobile phone, based on the second response.

摘要: A method may comprise downloading a message client on a first mobile wireless device and authenticating, via the message client and the first mobile wireless device, a first mobile phone number of the first mobile wireless device to a service for transmitting and receiving packet switched messages. The authenticating may be performed via an SMS protocol. The method may further comprise transmitting, after the authenticating, a request including at least information corresponding to a second mobile phone number of a second mobile wireless device, to determine whether the second mobile wireless device corresponds to a subscriber of the service. A response to the request may be received indicating that the second mobile wireless device corresponds to a subscriber of the service. A message format of the service may not be an SMS message format, a MMS message format or an EMS message format.

摘要: A method may comprise receiving, from a first handset via the Internet, a subscription message for subscribing the first handset to a service for receiving packet-switched messages other than SMS messages, EMS messages and MMS messages. The method may further comprise storing information indicating that a first mobile phone number of the first handset corresponds to a subscriber of the service, in a subscriber data store. A first request may be received, from a second handset, the first request including at least information corresponding to the first mobile phone number of the first handset. The first mobile phone number of the first handset may be determined to correspond to a subscriber of the service. A first response may be transmitted to the second handset.

摘要: A method performed by a sending mobile phone that transmits SMS messages and packet switched messages may comprise: (a) retrieving a destination address of a message from the message; (b) sending information representing a phone number of a receiving mobile phone; (c) receiving a response to the sending of the information; and (d) based at least in part on the response, automatically selecting a bearer for the message. The bearer may be selected from a group including: an SMS bearer; a packet-switched message bearer supported by a cellular connection between the sending mobile phone and a cellular base station; and a packet-switched message bearer supported by a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection between the sending mobile phone and a WLAN base station.
