Abstract: A social gift-giving system is operable with a social networking service such as Facebook. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided on a display of a computing device. A user logs in to the social networking service. Responsive to selection of a first region of the GUI, the GUI displays a list of other users of the social networking service associated with the first user. These other users may be the first user's Facebook friends. Using the GUI, the user can select a Facebook friend, select a gift for the friend, and purchase the gift for the friend.

Abstract: A telephone connection is established between a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal is presumed to be associated with a subscription in a first home telephone network in which the terminal is identified by a first network identity. Correspondingly, the second terminal is presumed to be associated with a subscription in a second home telephone network in which the second terminal is identified by a second network identity. A host resource routes a call from the first terminal to the second terminal based on a combination of the first network identity and a first common telephone number in the first home telephone network dialed by the first terminal. The first common telephone number is selected such that it is unique and is adapted to be shared among a group of users in the first home telephone network.

Abstract: A telephone connection is established between a first terminal (A) and a second terminal (B). The first terminal (A) is presumed to be associated with a subscription in a first home telephone network (?) in which the terminal (A) is identified by means of a first network identity (CLIA). Correspondingly, the second terminal (B) is presumed to be associated with a subscription in a second home telephone network (?) in which the second terminal (B) is identified by means of a second network identity (CLIB). According to the invention, a host resource (110) routes a call from the first terminal (A) to the second terminal (B) based on a combination of the first network identity (CLIA) and a first common telephone number (#n) in the first home telephone network ( ) dialed by the first terminal (A). This is rendered possible because the first common telephone number (#?n) is selected such that the first is combination unique.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and to a host arrangement for transferring electronic mail over a mobile telephone network with the aid of SMS message routing means existing in the network. According to the invention, e-mail is coupled with a modified SMS message containing an agent which, through the medium of control characters, is recognized in the addressed mobile station. A client function in the computer decodes the agent and initiates the transfer of e-mail from the host arrangement, wherein the mail is loaded into the computer from the mobile station, via a PCMCIA connection.
