Abstract: The evolution in telecommunications whilst providing email, MMS, SMS, texting etc. still means that telephony is the only telecommunications format providing immediacy in respect of a recipient responding to a message from a sender. Within these other formats the recipient may view the message and elect when to respond thereby allowing them time to compose, consider, etc. rather than garnering their immediate reaction. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to add a level of immediacy to these other forms of telecommunications messaging.
