Abstract

A message accessing apparatus and method for providing access of select messages (voice or text) to multiple recipients in cellular networks. A network subscriber accesses a subscriber's mailbox which contains a message, by entering a voice messaging service address code and entering a personal access code. A temporary access code is then assigned to the selected message and the messaging service address code and temporary access code are transmitted to the intended recipients of the voice message to allow the intended recipients to access the selected message by contacting the voice messaging service and entering the temporary access code.
