Abstract: A device may receive a text message or a multimedia message to be received by a receiving device. The message may be stored by one or more storage devices. The device may determine that the message is to be received by the receiving device via a wireless local area network (WLAN). The device may send, to the receiving device, a notification associated with the message. The device may identify a storage device, of the one or more storage devices, to provide the message to the receiving device. The device may manage a synchronization between the receiving device and the storage device via the WLAN. The synchronization may cause the message to be received by the receiving device. The device may receive an indication that the receiving device has received the message, and may provide closure information. The closure information may prevent the message from being delivered via a cellular network.

Abstract: A device may receive connection information associated with a connection, between a user device and a network, used to provide an application service to the user device. The connection information may include information identifying a network type of the network. The connection information may include information identifying an access point name associated with the connection. The application service may be provided by a device associated with providing the application service to the user device. The device may store the connection information based on receiving the connection information. The device may determine that the connection information is to be provided to the device associated with providing the application service to the user device, and may provide the connection information to the device associated with the application service. The connection information may permit the application service to be provided based on the network type of the network.

Abstract: A method that enables provisioning of mobile station messages to multiple devices associated with the sender and/or receiver includes receiving, at a mobile messaging service center, a mobile messaging service message; identifying a destination mobile station associated with the received message, the destination mobile station having a Mobile Directory Number and corresponding to a primary device of a customer of a mobile communication network provider; and delivering, through a mobile communication network, the received message to the primary device of the customer. The method also includes steps of determining whether the customer subscribes to a Messaging Anywhere (MA) service; upon determination that the customer subscribers to the MA service, delivering, from the mobile messaging service center, a copy of the received message to an MA server; and delivering, from the MA server, the message to a secondary device previously identified by the customer.

Abstract: A method performed by one or more devices includes receiving a user selection of a picture that contains an object of a character to be animated for an animated message and receiving one or more designations of areas within the picture to correspond to one or more human facial features for the character associated with the object. The method further includes receiving a textual message; receiving one or more user selections of one or more animation codes that identify animations to be performed by the one or more human facial features designated within the picture, and receiving an encoding of the textual message and the one or more animation codes. The method further includes generating the animated message based on the picture, the one or more designations of the one or more human facial features, and the one or more animation codes, and sending the animated message to a recipient.
