Abstract

See full text

A communication system includes at least one mobile communication device having a message indicator device, and a voice mail messaging center. The voice mail messaging center includes a voice mailbox associated with the at least one mobile communication device. The voice mail messaging center directs a call to the voice mailbox associated with the at least one mobile communication device for recording a message when the mobile communication device is unable to receive the call. The voice mail messaging center optimizes communication from the messaging center to the mobile communication device by sending a first message indicator to the mobile communication device when a voice mail message is recorded and the voice mailbox previously contained no messages, a second message indicator when the voice mailbox is full, and a third message indicator when the voice mailbox becomes empty. The indicator device of the mobile communication device provides a first indication in response to the first message indicator, a second indication in response to the second message indicator, and a third indication in response to the third message indicator.
