Abstract
A cellular communication carrier may implement SMS/MMS services using both a traditional store-and-forward system and an enhanced messaging system having a common, service-maintained message store for access by multiple clients. In order to enhance interoperability between the systems, a synchronization client is installed on a mobile device having a traditional SMS/MMS messaging client. The synchronization client accesses the local message store of the mobile device and also communications with the enhanced messaging system in order to synchronize the local message store and the common message store of the enhanced messaging system.
