1. A method for processing a received wireless cellular communication, the method comprising:

  • receiving the wireless cellular communication from a conventional cellular communication network by a first cellular telephone where the electronic communication comprises a digital packet having a header segment and a user data segment, the electronic communication being received by the first cellular telephone via one of short messaging system (SMS), simple mail transport protocol (SMTP), internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) and hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) transport communication protocols;

    routing information contained in the user data segment by the first cellular telephone to either a native communication program stored in memory of the first cellular telephone or an enhanced services application program concurrently stored in memory of the first cellular telephone to initially extract information contained in the user data segment, said routing being made based solely on whether one of a plurality of labels is contained within the user data segment where each of the labels identifies a different subject matter category, the presence of one of the labels causing the user data segment to be routed to the enhanced services application program for processing;

    each of the subject matter categories having a corresponding independent private inbox accessible only by the enhanced services application program, the wireless cellular communication received via one of the SMS, SMTP, IMS and HTTP transport communication protocols, the wireless cellular communication having a first label that identifies a corresponding first subject matter category with a corresponding first inbox used exclusively for messages associated with the first subject matter category;

    receiving another wireless cellular communication by the first cellular telephone via another of the SMS, SMTP, IMS and HTTP transport communication protocols;

    routing information contained in the user data segment by the first cellular telephone to either a native communication program stored in memory of the first cellular telephone or the enhanced services application program where a label contained within a second user data segment of the another wireless cellular communication is the first label resulting in the enhanced services application program initially extracting information contained the second user data segment and associating a message in the second user data segment with the first inbox even though the another wireless cellular communication has conveyed by a transport communication protocol that is different than the transport communication protocol of the wireless cellular communication, said routing being made based solely on whether the label is contained within the user data segment, the presence of one of the labels causing the user data segment to be routed to the enhanced services application program for processing;

    storing the message contained in the received second user data segment in the first inbox by the enhanced services application programthe enhanced services application program being able to extract messages contained user data segments that are conveyed to the first cellular telephone by any of the SMS, MMS, SMTP and HTTP transport protocols;

    access to information contained in the user data segments stored in the first private inbox only being available to the enhanced services application program;

    wherein the subject matter categories include banking, insurance and health care.
