Abstract

An operating method for a communications network includes a computing means connected therewith and adapted to receive and transmit short message service signals, wherein the computing means is adapted to receive a first signal containing information related to a first user and a second user, to transmit a signal to both users containing questions, to receive reply signals from both users containing answers, to compare the answers in the reply signals, and to send a signal containing the results of that comparison to at least one of the users. It is preferred that both users receive the results, but the system could still be implemented in a viable form with only the first or second user receiving the results. The various signals can be transmitted over a mobile telephony network, preferably via the SMS protocol or via WAP. In a preferred arrangement, the first signal is either delivered via SMS or is provided to the computing means via a suitable WAP portal, and subsequent signals are via SMS. It is preferred that the users can choose categories of questions. In this case, the choice of categories is preferably included in the first signal. The application also refers to a computing means attached to a communications network and adapted to carry out the method, and a software programme which when loaded on a suitable computing means will cause it to carry out such a method.
