  • Patent number: 6731926
    Abstract: A system and method for delivering a message waiting indicator (MWI) message to a wireless system, such that a Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO) of the wireless system can recognize the MWI message and correspondingly activate an MWI on a wireless device (e.g., a wireless telephone). The present invention enables a messaging service provider, which is in communication with a wireline network through a central office, to send an MWI message through the central office and to a wireless device as a part of an integrated voicemail messaging service. According to one embodiment, the present invention processes a standard SS7 ReportEventMessageAvailable message, making the message compatible with a desired wireless protocol, such as analog, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). An MWI processor executes this process anywhere between, and including, the messaging service provider and the MTSO.
