Abstract

A method and apparatus provide for enhancing personal information management (PIM) services available through a mobile communication device. A PIM service is designed with a full set of features. The mobile communication device is programmed to be able to execute a subset of said full set of features on a stand-alone basis. The device is further programmed to access network resident features when a user initiated command requests a feature not available to the mobile communication device in its stand alone state.
