Abstract
The present invention relates to the transmission of push information to a handset. Before pushing a page to the handset, it is checked that the page belongs to the same service as the page currently display. If the page to be pushed belongs to a different service, it is not pushed. The risk of disruption to the original service is thereby reduced. Checking is preferably done by a gateway to which the handset is connected. The gateway can store details of the page last transmitted to the handset in order to facilitate the check.
