The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for routing a
message to a communications device. These systems and methods may receive
a message via a communications channel, convert the message into a
uniform media format, identify at least one of the following: at least
one user communications device to receive the message and at least one
communications channel for delivering the message, then convert the
uniform media formatted message for at least one communications protocol
and then forward the message formatted for the at least one
communications protocol to the at least one user communications device
via at least one communications channel. In accordance with the systems
and methods disclosed herein, messages sent in one communications
protocol via a communications channel may be delivered to a user in a
different communications protocol via a different communications channel.
The message may be forward to a user's communications device based upon
the user's contact profile and location information and the user's
preferences information. In some embodiments, the message may be
delivered via an instant messaging communications channel.
