<p>A method and system are provided for delivering messages from a wireless paging device (65) directly to a wireline interactive device (95) serving as a forwarding extension of the recipient's wireless interactive paging device (65). A user of a wireless interactive device (65) selects a forwarding address for forwarding incoming messages and pages to a wireline interactive device (95) such as a wireline telephone with an interactive messaging display. After entering the forwarding electronic mail address, all incoming messages directed to the user's wireless paging device (65) are forwarded via a wireline extension service through a distributed computing network, such as the Internet (50), to an electronic mail server (85). At the electronic mail server (85), the incoming messages are formatted and routed through a conventional wireline telephone network to the user's wireline interactive device (95). The forwarded messages are displayed to the user just as they would have been on the user's wireless pager (65). Text messages forwarded to a conventional telephone not capable of receiving and displaying text messages may be forwarded to a text-to-speech (TTS) conversion device over the Internet (50) or over the public switched telephone network to a TTS conversion device located as a stand-alone unit, located at a network component, or located at a telephone (21).</p> |
