Abstract
There is disclosed a message tracking system for use in a wireless massaging system. The message tracking system allows a caller to verify a status of wireless messages previously sent by the caller to one or more subscribers of the wireless massaging system. The message tracking system comprises 1) an I/O interface that receives a message status request from the caller and 2) a message status controller that determines an identity of the caller from identification data received from the caller and retrieves a data record associated with the caller. The data record contains status information associated with the previously transmitted wireless messages. The message tracking system transfers to the caller selected status data associated with at least one of the previously transmitted wireless messages. The caller may check the status of multiple previously transmitted wireless messages in a single call without having to re-enter the caller's ID information.
