Abstract: A method, computer-readable storage device and apparatus for sending a content of a third party website via a messaging service are disclosed. For example, the method provides a source code to the third party website to enable the sending of the content via the messaging service, receives a request to send the content to a mobile endpoint device of a recipient via the messaging service, wherein the request originates from the third party website, receives a telephone number of a mobile endpoint device and sends the content to the mobile endpoint device associated with the telephone number of the recipient as a message via the messaging service, wherein the message is identified as being sent from a mobile endpoint device of a sender.

Abstract: A method for accessing a remote network includes identifying a content server associated with the remote network, generating a uniform resource locator, embedding additional data in the uniform resource locator, encrypting the uniform resource locator, and accessing a server in the remote network identified by the uniform resource locator. The method further includes wherein the additional data comprises authentication data, a delivery session identification, a time stamp, or comprises subscriber identification data. The URL may provide access to the content server for a time period indicated by the time stamp. The method includes wherein at least the subscriber identification data prevents unauthorized sharing of the URL.

Abstract: A method for inserting content through a service delivery hub includes the steps of designating a set of tags to be made available through an API, providing the API for use by third parties; intercepting a communication from the third party; interrogating the communication for a data tag, substituting content for the data tag and delivering the communication to an intended recipient. The method may further include that the content substituted for the data tag is dependent upon a parameter such as the MSISDN.
