Abstract

A system and method of transmitting customized voice messages from a first voice messaging device to a second voice messaging device over a messaging network. A customized voice message is initially transmitted from a first voice messaging device to a second voice messaging device over the messaging network, including a first base station. The first base station assigns a unique code for that customized voice message, and then transmits that customized voice message and unique code over the messaging network to the second voice messaging device, the latter of which stores the customized voice message and the unique code associated with it. The first base station also stores the unique code in memory. Upon subsequent transmission of that same customized voice message from the first voice messaging device to the second voice messaging device, only the unique code will be transmitted to the second voice messaging device, the latter of which will then retrieve from its memory the customized voice message associated with the unique code.
