Abstract
A technique for transferring a data message between a first terminal device and a second terminal device via an intermediate terminal device includes: entering a data message into the first terminal device; transmitting the data message from the first terminal device to the intermediate terminal device; formatting the data message into at least one SMS (Short Message Service) message in the intermediate terminal device; and transmitting the at least one SMS message from the intermediate terminal device to the second terminal device. Formatting the data message may include formatting the data in a SyncML format. The intermediate terminal device may include a mobile terminal and the data message may be transferred from the first terminal device to the intermediate terminal device via a short range communication link which may include an IR or Bluetooth communication link.
