Abstract
A method and a system for providing convertible or interactive messaging between two or more users is provided. In an embodiment, a user sends a convertible message to another user. Such convertible messages can be sent using a communication means having two or more fields, ports, or the like. One of the fields, ports, or the like is used to identify the transmission as a convertible message. Another of the fields, ports, or the like is used to relay the text, icon, etc. of the message. Upon recognition of the convertible message, the receiving device allows for the display of the convertible message. The receiving user may manually accept to view the convertible message, and/or may view/not view the convertible message automatically upon receipt due to predefined rules.
