Method and system for providing live real-time communication via text between mobile user devices

A computer system for providing real-time communication via text between multiple mobile devices, comprising:

• one or more processors and memory to store one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
• receiving, at an application server, a communication request from a first mobile device, wherein the communication request is based upon a selection of a second mobile device from a contact list that is stored on the first mobile device;
• sending the communication request from the application server to the second mobile device;
• if the communication request is accepted by the second mobile device, sending a first at least one datagram message to be received by the second mobile device, from the first mobile device to the application server, wherein the first at least one datagram message comprises a first at least one transmitted text;
• receiving, at the first mobile device, a second at least one datagram message sent by the second mobile device from the application server, wherein the second at least one datagram message comprises a second at least one transmitted text;
• displaying the first at least one transmitted text sent from the first mobile device on the second mobile device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the first mobile;
• and
• displaying the second at least one transmitted text sent from the second mobile device on the first mobile device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the second mobile.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs for providing real-time communication via text between multiple mobile devices, the one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of a computer system, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

• receiving, at an application server, a communication request from a first mobile device, wherein the communication request is based upon a selection of a second mobile device from a contact list that is stored on the first mobile device;
• sending the communication request from the application server to the second mobile device;
• if the communication request is accepted by the second mobile device, sending a first at least one datagram message to be received by a second mobile device, from the first mobile device to the application server, wherein the first at least one datagram message comprises a first at least one transmitted text;
• receiving, at the first mobile device, a second at least one datagram message sent by the second mobile device from the application server, wherein the second at least one datagram message comprises a second at least one transmitted text;
• displaying the first at least one transmitted text sent from the first mobile device on the second mobile device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the first mobile;
• and
• displaying the second at least one transmitted text sent from the second mobile device on the first mobile device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the second mobile.
