System and method of exchanging identification information for mobile stations
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile station comprising:
- a processor;
instructions for execution by the processor for detecting when a first network identification code associated with the mobile station has changed;
instructions for execution by the processor for sending a first message containing the first network identification code to a second mobile station via a first service gateway, wherein a message type of the first message is selected from a group comprising an email message, an SMS message and a HTTP message;
instructions for execution by the processor for receiving a second message containing a second network identification code associated with the second mobile station that is sent by the second mobile station via a second service gateway;
memory for storing the second network identification code; and
instructions for execution by the processor for requesting a wireless communication link to the second mobile station using the second network identification code wherein the communication link does not traverse the first or second service gateway.
