ABSTRACT:
A data messaging method for communicating a short data message between a message sender and a message recipient using the existing facilities and capabilities of the public switched telecommunication network and without establishing a telephonic connection therebetween, thereby reducing the time and cost required to communicate a data message between the parties as compared to current methods. In a preferred embodiment, the method communicates a user-definable data message between a message sender having telephone terminal equipment and a plurality of telephone lines associated therewith, and a message recipient having telephone terminal equipment and a telephone line associated therewith. According to the method, a first plurality of data message portions are associated in one-to-one correspondence with the message sender's plurality of telephone lines. The data message is then parsed into a second plurality of data message portions taken from the first plurality of data message portions. The second plurality of data message portions are communicated to the message recipient by initiating successive telephone calls to the message recipient's telephone line on message sender telephone lines which are selected for their respective association with data message portions of the first plurality of data message portions that match the data message portions of the second plurality of data message portions. Upon receiving information identifying the message sender telephone lines from a calling party identification service, the data message portions of the first plurality of data message portions corresponding to the selected telephone lines are determined and presented to the message recipient.
