Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and an arrangement for receiving, storing, and originating multimedia messages. An incoming message is transmitted to an in/out interface via a transport network. The message is stored in a message store, translated in a translation unit into a format adapted to the presentation capabilities of receiver's current terminal and delivered to the receiver over a user access interface and an access network with guidance from a location database. Earlier received messages, which are kept in the message store, can be accessed and edited via any standardized access network using media translation in the translation unit. A multimedia message is originated by a user in the system via any access network and the user access interface. The message is then stored in the message store, translated in the translation unit, and delivered to the destination through the in/out interface and an appropriate transport network.
