ABSTRACT:
Initially storing multimedia messages from an originating communication terminal to a destination communication terminal on the destination communication terminal. If the destination communication terminal cannot store messages, then the message is stored on the originating communication terminal. The destination communication terminal may not be able to store messages because it no longer has present message storage facilities on an internal storage unit or it does not have any internal storage capability for messages. Similarly, the originating communication terminal also may have exceeded its capacity to store messages or may not have any internal storage devoted to the storing of messages. The destination communication terminal maintains a list of messages that are stored on other communication terminals. In addition, if the originating communication terminal cannot store messages, a message is stored on a third terminal which has the capacity to store messages. The messages stored on the third communication terminal are encrypted to protect the privacy of users of the originating and destination communication terminals.
