1. A method of initiating a data exchange session among mobile devices, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, a request from an initiating mobile device to allocate a session identifier to use in a data exchange session with a participating mobile device, wherein the session identifier comprises a network port number of the server;
transmitting, from the server, the session identifier to the initiating mobile device, wherein the initiating mobile device uses a page-mode messaging service to assist in communicating the session identifier to the participating mobile device and wherein the page-mode messaging service utilizes a unique identifier to locate the participating mobile device;
establishing, at the server, connections with the initiating mobile device and the participating mobile device based on the session identifier; and
facilitating, at the server, the data exchange session between the initiating mobile device and the participating mobile device.
