A message is automatically broadcast to a plurality of recipients from a mobile
wireless communications device. A recipient list of recipient names and addresses
is preprogrammed and stored in the wireless communications device. Recorded voice
and text messages are sent to recipients and recipient telephones, voicemail systems,
and email and Internet addresses from the recipient list. Delivery status options
can be selected to identify the recipient addresses receiving the message, the
recipient addresses with answering machines receiving the message, the recipient
addresses not accepting the message, or non-communicating recipient addresses.
In addition, recipient message response options can be selected including accepting,
displaying or storing the responses. Recipient non-receipt options also can be
selected, such as rebroadcasting the message, displaying a status message, or doing
nothing in response to recipient addresses not receiving the message.
