Abstract
A mobile user wishing to quickly generate a reminder note for him/herself, does so by activating a special “reminder” function of the user'"'"'s mobile phone. This results in a voice path being set up through the mobile phone infrastructure to a service system to which the user then dictates the desired reminder note. The service system puts the reminder into an e-mail and sends it through an e-mail system to a special “reminder” e-mail box of the user from where the user can subsequently collect it. In an alternative embodiment, the reminder is temporarily stored in the mobile phone before uploading, possibly over a data bearer service offered by the infrastructure. In another alternative embodiment, the reminder is converted into e-mail in the mobile phone and then sent as such to the user'"'"'s reminder e-mail box without being further handled by a service system.
