First Claim
1. A method of authenticating interactive messages where the interactive messages are exchanged with wireless devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- selecting a pre-defined template to send a message to a recipient;
filling in the template with the message;
transmitting the message to an application server which sends the message to an authentication server which assigns a date and time stamp to the message;

Abstract
The interactive messaging system of the present invention provides for an interactive communication process between users, both senders and recipients. The sender composes a message by filling in a template stored in data services. Once completed, the sender pushes the message to a recipient'"'"'s wireless device if the wireless device contains a WAP browser which is capable of receiving pushed messages. Typically the message includes a question along with answers for the recipient to choose from. Each answer corresponds with a pre-assigned response key and the recipient answers the question by selecting one of the pre-assigned response keys. The recipient'"'"'s response is available to the sender in the form of an e-mail, WAP Push, on-line access or interactive message that is shown to the sender on an on-line status screen.
