INTEGRATED MESSAGE SERVICE SYSTEM This integrated message service system provides a user with an indication of which of a plurality of message service systems contain unretrieved messages. This is accomplished by the serving telephone switching system maintaining a translation memory that indicates both the type of message services assigned to each user and the location of unretrieved messages in the assigned message services. The translation memory is updated every time a user creates a new message or accesses a previously stored message.
