Abstract

The present invention is directed to a system and method in which data messages, which otherwise would be displayed on the screen of a mobile device are delivered in audible format. The message itself, in one embodiment does not contain the audible message, but rather the message triggers the retrieval of an audible message (or if the user chooses, he/she can be prompted to view additional information in a text or video format on the phone). The audible, message that is ultimately delivered can be prestored in the mobile device; can be created based upon data sent to the device; can be retrieved from an external source, such as from a web server accessed by the mobile device in accordance with data contained in the message received by the mobile device; or it can be sent by the sender as a “whisper” message.
