Abstract: Methods and apparatus for facilitating the delivery of e-mail messages from a
mobile communication device are disclosed. In one disclosed example, an end user of
the mobile device enters e-mail message information corresponding to a new e-mail
message through a user interface. Preferably, the user interface is an e-mail graphical
user interface (GUI) provided by the mobile device. The mobile device identifies
whether a packet data service (e.g. GPRS) for communicating e-mail messages is
available to it. If the packet data service is available, the mobile device causes the e-mail
message information to be sent via the packet data service. If the packet data
service is unavailable, however, the mobile device causes the e-mail message
information to be sent in a short message service (SMS) message via an SMS-to-Email
service. Advantageously, a common GUI interface which does not change
depending on the availability of the packet data service is utilized and service-specific
formatting for SMS-to-Email by the end user is not required.
