A method for sending a message with location token from a sending station in a communications network, where user initiates a request by selecting a location, the sending station sends a request to a server for location token for the location selected by the user, the server generates a location token and returns the location token to the sending station, the sending station creates and sends the message with the location token sent by the server, a receiving station receives the message along with location token, user operating the receiving station requests the server to retrieve location by accessing the location token. The capabilities of the server may be co-hosted wholly or partially on the sending station, wholly or partially on the receiving station, or wholly or partially on both the sending and receiving station.
