Abstract
A method of sending a message to a mobile station using a common domain name includes the steps of receiving an email containing a subject and a body, combining the subject and the body into a first message, and determining if the email contains an attachment. If the email contains the attachment, the first message can be converted into a MMS message, and if not, a number of characters in the first message can be counted. If the number of characters is less than or equal to 160 characters, the first message can be converted to a SMS message. If the number is greater than 160 characters and less than or equal to 1000 characters, the first message can be converted to an EMS message. In addition, if the number of characters is greater than 1000 characters, the first message can be converted to the MMS message.
