A method of conveying information between a wireless communication device
(13a) and a computer (15) providing a messaging service comprising
sending a message from the wireless communication device (13a) to said
computer (15), the message including an address for the computer (15),
and receiving the communication at the computer (15). The address is
formed by combining an Access Code (AC) uniquely identifying the computer
and a Unique Identification Code (UIC) signifying; (i) a prescribed
action to be performed by the computer (15); and (ii) an entity that is
the subject of the prescribed action. At least one character of the
address is common to both the Access Code and the Unique identification
Code and the address is arranged such that said at least one common
character is unified within the address such that the number of
characters in the address string is less than the total number of
characters in the Access Code and the Unique Identification Code.
