Method and System for Communicating a Message Attachment
First Claim
1. A method of operating a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
- maintaining a first wireless data path to an application server via a first wireless packet data service network, the first wireless data path being a secure end-to-end continuous communication link;
receiving an electronic message and an attachment notification via the first wireless data path; and
in an automatic mode, establishing a second wireless data path for transmission of the attachment to the mobile communication device when the mobile communication device is within a coverage area for a given radio access technology with which the device is configured to establish the second wireless data path.
