In a short message service (SMS) wireline/wireless message system, a separate SMS exchange subsystem implements value-added service capability. The value addition service may range, for example, from simple data insertion in the SMS message to the more complex initiation of a teleconference call using inter-exchanged SMS messages.

Method and system for short message service exchange and teleconferencing

In a short message service (SMS) wireline/wireless message system, a separate SMS exchange server linked to a multi-party concurrence server implements a value-added service capability to achieve multi-party concurrence. The basic function of the multi-party concurrence operation is that of changing the contents of a data structure in the server based on the responses received from two or more members. The concurrence operation has many applications, such as, the transfer of money to an account only if two or more persons agree to the transaction.

A stored value commerce system and method enabling the anonymous creation and usage of stored value accounts for purchase of goods and/or services, including the anonymous redemption of a value up to a maximum of the balance value associated with a stored value account.

Anonymous redemption and stored value system and method

A global prepaid roaming services method and apparatus is described in which a roaming phone located in a first region places an outgoing call to a destination party in a second region, and responsive to placing the call, a service processing node (SPN) establishes a first call connection between the roaming phone and the SPN, a second call connection between the SPN and the destination party is established and the SPN bridges the first and second call connections to establish a call connection between the roaming phone and the destination party. Incoming calls originating in a first region made to a wireless phone roaming in a second region are established by signaling from the first region to a home region associated with the wireless phone in order to determine that the wireless phone is roaming in the second region; signaling a cellular-switching center (CSC) in the second region, responsive to the determination that the wireless phone is roaming in the second region, to inform the CSC in the second region of a call connection request to the wireless phone; routing the call, responsive to the call connection request, from the CSC in the second region to a service processing node (SPN) in the second region and establishing a first call connection from the originating first region to the SPN in the second region; launching a message from the SPN in the second region to the wireless phone, the message instructing the wireless phone to establish a second call connection with the SPN in the second region; and bridging the first call connection with the second call connection, responsive to establishing the second call connection with the SPN.

Global wireless prepaid roaming

A technique to register a roaming cell-phone in a visiting location as a local phone. The technique involves identifying roaming-related information from the roaming cell-phone in the visiting location, and then dynamically configuring the roaming cell-phone to operate as a local cell-phone in the visiting location.
