  • Patent number: 6389276
    Abstract: A system for remote notification of new voicemail messages stored in a landline-based voicemail system to a wireless mobile telephone. A telephone switching system forwards an incoming call for a subscriber's landline telephone or number to a voicemail system for recording voicemail messages. A message platform monitors the generation of a notification request by the voicemail system that typically causes the telephone switching system to illuminate a message waiting indicator on the subscriber's telephone or provide an audible message waiting indication over the subscriber's line. The message platform, in response to detecting the notification request, outputs an e-mail message via a packet switched network (such as the Internet) to a wireless network in communication with a wireless mobile telephone used by the voicemail subscriber.
