Abstract
A paid instant message system and method that authenticate identities using a mobile telephone network, which comprise: a message server, user cell phone, and mobile telephone networks. The user cell phone has an instant messaging application installed therein. Each user account includes a specified charge for sending and receiving messages. By means of a paying and charging mechanism, the present invention makes the cost for sending junk messages increase and make the people oversending messages to pay the corresponding price, thus preventing appearance of junk messages. As for the normal instant messaging among people, messages are sent and received by each other, so they pay each other, and in this case, the fees paid and charged by one person or by one company will almost be equal, hence this will not cause any burden and influence to anyone who normally uses the instant messaging.
