Abstract

It present, there exist systems, which send emails, receive emails and replies, and store messages in boxes. There also exist systems, which send SMS messages to the network of one mobile phone operator, receive SMS messages and replies, and store SMS messages in boxes. However there exists no system so far, which would send SMS messages generally all over the world (to the GSM, CDMA and TDMA network), receive SMS messages and replies, and store SMS messages in boxes.

A communication system is suggested and described, which sends SMS messages to different networks and operators, receives SMS messages and replies, and stores messages in boxes. This system consists from www page generator, message receiver from computer, SMS message sender and receiver to/from mobile phones and the file storage area.

The said communication system enables the SMS messaging to be standard messaging, including sending, receiving and replaying, like email, instant messaging or ICQ. It also enables the SMS messaging to be combined with such messaging systems.
