A system controller (102) operates in a messaging system (100) to deliver a response to a message. The response is communicated to a messaging terminal (115) at a response telephone number. The messaging terminal (115) includes a voice receive mode or a data receive mode, or both. A message input handler (404) receives the message and the response telephone number during a telephone call. A memory (408) stores the response telephone number in correspondence with the message. The message input handler (404) also receives the response, associates the message stored in the message memory with the response, and retrieves the response telephone number corresponding with the message associated with the response. A telephone response handler (420) delivers the response in accordance with the receive mode of the messaging terminal (115), using the retrieved response telephone number.
