Abstract: A system for facilitating message notification for an electronic communications device. The system includes a first mechanism that organizes, by individual user, individual messages received by the electronic communications device and provides a signal in response thereto. A second mechanism allows the individual users to visually distinguish their received messages based on the signal. In a specific embodiment, the second mechanism includes a display for displaying contents of the individual messages in various visually distinguishable formats corresponding to various individual users. An additional mechanism converts the individual messages into text messages and scrolls the text messages via text that differs by color or font for each of the various individual users. Alternatively, the display shows contents of the individual messages in various message-notification bands that differ based on intended recipients of the individual messages.
