Abstract
A mobile communication system and method in which device-specific profile data relating to a target mobile device is solicited by the mobile communication network prior to relaying a regular mobile message from a sending mobile device to the target mobile device. The target mobile device responds to the solicitation by providing data such as display size, memory capacity and software capabilities. The mobile communication network formats the regular message in accordance with the target device'"'"'s response and, accordingly, the regular message is displayed on the target mobile device in a manner efficiently tailored to the capabilities of the target device.
