Abstract
A method for providing a user of a telephone device with a capability to use Internet-based applications. The user of a telephone device sends a request to be connected to an Internet-based application to a first server, which establishes a communication path extending between the telephone device and a second server at which the application resides, via that first server. A virtual client entity is created at that first server specific to the telephone device to allow communication between the telephone device and the application and concluded upon termination of the communication session. The user's ID for that application is stored, and used to forward messages for that user when the user is not actively connected to that application. After the message has been received and stored by the first server, an indication is sent to the user that such messages have been received.
