Abstract: A message exchange network storing messages in memories of message storage entities, e.g., a mobile handset, based on the type and content of information within the message. An information service message containing supercedingly updateable information, e.g., a traffic update, is stored using a replacement method by which a previously stored message is replaced by a newly received message. All other types of messages are stored using a conventional append method. A message identifier within the message itself provides information necessary to distinguish between the aforementioned types of messages. In another embodiment, a block of message identifiers is reserved for storage of information service messages.

Abstract: A message exchange network is disclosed in which at least two different methods of storing messages in memories of message storage entities, e.g., a mobile handset, an SMSC, an e-mail client, or an e-mail server, are utilized based on the type and the content of the information contained within the message. An information service message containing information that is supercedingly updateable, e.g., stock quote, weather or traffic information, is stored using a replacement method by which an older message previously stored is replaced by a newly received message. All other types of messages are stored using an append method by which the newly received message is stored in an unoccupied available memory location. In a disclosed embodiment, message identifier included in the message itself provides information necessary to distinguish between the aforementioned two types of messages. In a disclosed embodiment, a block of message identifiers is reserved for storage of information service messages.
