Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0110089A1] The present invention provides a solution to the problem of sending an electronic message to a receiver who does not have an e-mail address or for whom the receiver's e-mail address is unknown to the sender, through a system and method for allowing a sender who knows only the intended receiver's PCD number (be it a GSM phone number, or a PCS pager, or WAP phone, etc.), to create an e-mail account on-the-fly for the intended receiver if he/she does not have one, and to hold the message available for the intended recipient. The intended recipient can then access the message by proving that she is the rightful owner of the addressed phone through a password/phase, token, etc. provided by the system.
