Abstract
Systems and methods for silent message delivery are provided. One such embodiment includes a message receiver configured to receive a text message and convert it to a corresponding speech message. A message router is connected to the message receiver and configured to route the speech message dependent on information included in the speech message in accordance with a messaging directory. Preferably, a Voice Profile for Inter-system Messaging (VPIM) agent is connected to the message router and configured to convert the speech message to a corresponding VPIM message and deliver it to a voice mail system. Methods are also provided for delivery of a text message as speech message to a voice mail system without initiating a call to a telephonic device.
