  • Publication number: 20050202806
    Abstract: A way of storing and forwarding the content of a cellular conference call is described. A conference call is conducted among a group. The network is responsible for recording and storing the conference call. The network also determines which mobile telephone devices associated with group members did not participate in the conference call. The network automatically composes and sends a message to the mobile telephone devices of the group members that did not participate in the conference call. The message contains information indicating that a conference call took place and is available to be downloaded from the network for replay. In another implementation, a mobile telephone is responsible for recording and storing the conference call. The mobile telephone also determines which mobile telephone devices did not participate in the conference call. The mobile telephone device composes and sends an MMS message to the group members that did not participate in the conference call.
