Abstract
In a method for giving notification of a message to a subscriber who is registered with at least two message services, each message service indicates to a common notification server at least the presence of a new message for the subscriber on that respective message service. The notification server transmits to at least one terminal of the subscriber a notification which includes at least the fact that a new message is present and identifies the message service in which the message is present. It is thus possible for a subscriber who is registered with a plurality of message services to be informed of the presence of a new message in a very reliable, quick and problem-free way.
