<p>A messaging system (100) allows a message recipient to assign different message lengths to different messages. In one embodiment, the recipient sets (800) the length of time per message. In another embodiment, the recipient programs (300) the messaging system with codes that, when matched, enable longer messages. The recipient assigns the codes to "preferred" senders. The senders transmit (400) the code, either explicitly, for example by a sequence of keystrokes, or automatically, for example by transmitting caller identification. <IMAGE></p> |
