A method of informing third parties of a users status via a mobile communication device whereby the user sends a status message that informs one or more contacts from their phone book that regularly contact them, of their status/availability. The message may also contain actions that block the receiver from phoning the person who sent the status message on the mobile communication device that received the message and also unblock the mobile communication device when the status of the sender changes. The messages may be communicated via usual network operator SMS and data services and a central server that may manage the communication and track the events, their duration, and monitor users statuses and send reminders of ongoing call blocking statuses. The communication may be in the form of or a combination of Voice-Calls/SMS/MMS/VOIP for example. The method may also utilise the diary function of the mobile communication device and automatically a status message corresponding to events booked in the diary. |
