Abstract

A short message transaction system has a computer that communicates in an online Internet protocol that forms active sessions. A wireless device communicates in a protocol that transmits and receives messages that have a maximum size limit of a predetermined number of alphanumeric characters substantially smaller than the number of alphanumeric characters transmitted in a communication of the computer. A database is also provided. A surrogate communicates with the wireless device and the computer. The surrogate collects data from a plurality of messages from the wireless device and provides the data for storage in the database. The computer then runs online sessions using the stored data.
