Abstract
A messaging apparatus and method is provided to allow an originator of a message to review status information associated with a stored message that has or has not been retrieved by the recipient. This status information review capability exists for a pre-determined period of time. More particularly, the message originator supplies or is provided a message identifier for the message when it is created. Subsequently, the message originator or any caller having knowledge of the message identifier may access the status information of an associated stored message by using the message identifier.
