Abstract
In a method for an automatic message transfer service, at least one message is stored in a message service center MSC through a telephone company and is sent to a Web terminal of a user from the MSC. The automatic message transfer service is registered by each user as a result of a contract with the telephone company. The Web terminal is connected to the MSC through INTERNET. The Web terminal makes access to the MSC through the INTERNET and obtains an authentication of the automatic message transfer service. The MSC sends only storage data related to the stored messages destined to the registered user. The Web terminal displays the received storage data of the messages on a screen by letters, selects the storage data for one of the messages, and notifies the MSC of the selected storage data. The MSC receives the selected storage data and sends the message itself corresponding to the received storage data to the Web terminal.
