Abstract
A system and method for sending a message to a second mobile device of a second user from a first mobile device of the first user while making a call comprises the first mobile device having a mobile application installed and operating in communication with a server to send the message to the second mobile device while attempting the call. The second mobile device receives the call from the first mobile device with the message displayed on a display area by the mobile application. The mobile application communicates with the server and the first mobile device and the second mobile device to enable simultaneously sending the message with the call from the first mobile device and to enable simultaneously viewing the message with a received call in the second mobile device.
