1. A portable communication system with expandable short message service comprising:
- a portable wireless transceiver;
a fixed intelligent docking station including means to selectively support said transceiver in a docketed position and interconnect said transceiver and said docking station;
memory means connected to said docking station for storing a plurality of said short message service texts received by said transceiver and provided to said docking station through the interconnection therebetween;
a receiver for linking said transceiver to said memory means such that short message service texts may be forwarded from the transceiver to the memory means when said transceiver is separated from said docking station to enable the storage of the short message service texts during the separation; and
display means for selectively displaying the text of messages stored in said memory means.
