The method comprises receiving a message for transmission to at least one mobile device. The method also comprises verifying a streaming connection status of the mobile device. The method further comprises delivering the message if said mobile device does not have an active streaming connection. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for delivering messages, the method comprising: receiving a message for transmission to at least one mobile device; determining a streaming connection status of the mobile device; and based on the determined streaming connection status, performing one of a first message delivery option and a second message delivery option, wherein the first message delivery option is delivering the message to the mobile device and the second message delivery option is to delaying delivery of the message. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the step of delaying the delivery of the message is performed in response to determining that the mobile device has an active streaming connection, and the step of delivering the message is performed in response to determining that the mobile device does not have an active streaming connection. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving notification of streaming connection status changes for the at least one mobile device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the streaming connection status changes comprise notification of streaming connection setup and notification of streaming connection teardown. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the message is an advertising message. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the message for transmission is received with a flag set, the flag identifying the message is to be delivered to the at least one mobile device when said mobile device does not have an active streaming connection. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the message for transmission is received with a flag set, the flag identifying the message as an advertising message. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the streaming connection is at least one of: a Packet Streaming Service; and a Packet Data Protocol context. ### Claim 9 A message delivery platform arranged to: receive a message for transmission to at least one mobile device; verify a streaming connection status of the mobile device; deliver the message if said mobile device does not have an active streaming connection; and delay delivery of the message if said mobile device has an active streaming connection. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The message delivery platform of claim 9, further arranged to receive notification of streaming connection status changes for the at least one mobile device from a streaming notification manager. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The message delivery platform of claim 9, wherein the streaming connection status changes comprise notification of streaming connection setup and notification of streaming connection teardown. ### Claim 12 A network node arranged to: receive a subscription request from a message delivery platform, said subscription request identifying at least one mobile device; send a streaming session status message to the message delivery platform when the status of a streaming connection to the at least one mobile device changes. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The network node of claim 12, wherein said streaming session status message identifies the at least one mobile device which status has changed. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing instructions, which, when executed by computer logic, causes said computer logic to carry out the method of claim 1.
