First Claim
1. A method of message communication between a first and a second wireless communication device, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing a plurality of predefined messages in a memory of the first and the second wireless communication devices, each predefined message of the plurality of predefined messages associated with a message number code of a plurality of message number codes and a language code of a plurality of language codes;
selecting a predefined message of the plurality of predefined messages to send to at least one recipient, the selected predefined message having an associated message number code of the plurality of message number codes;
selecting a language for the selected predefined message, the selected language having a selected language code of the plurality of language codes; and
transmitting the associated message number code and the selected language code from the first wireless communication device to the second wireless communication device, the selected language code being used to retrieve the predefined message in the selected language from the memory of the second wireless communication device.

Abstract
A system and method for communicating messages between mobile communication devices. Predefined and customizable messages are provided to the user for selection and transmittal. Customizable messages include customizable text entry portions for text, default information such as the date or time, or defined information previously input and saved in memory by the user. Each predefined message can be translated into another language for transmission to one or more recipients. Acoustic messages can also be recorded and transmitted to one or more recipients. Messages are transmitted by conventional means over radio frequencies, infrared, or cable connections. In a second embodiment messages and translations are transmitted by code to a central server which decodes and transmits the message to each recipient mobile. In a third embodiment, all mobiles in the communication system are programmed to contain identical predefined and customizable messages and messages are transmitted by code.
