Abstract
A method is described for providing a user of a telephone device with a capability to receive an indication that a message has been sent to that user via an Internet-based application, irrespective whether the user is currently actively connected to that application or not. The method comprises the steps of receiving a message addressed to said user at a second server associated with the Internet-based application, forwarding the message towards a first server at which a virtual client entity was previously created to allow conducting a communication session that was held between the user and the Internet-based application, determining whether the user is currently connected to the Internet-based application, storing the message if the user is not currently connected to that Internet application and providing the user with an indication that at least one message addressed to him/her has been stored.
