The invention discloses an information communication method and
system, and a
server, and relates to the technical field of information. The method includes the steps that firstly, a first device used by a first user has access to the
server through
the Internet, the
server has access to a
telephone network and can receive and send short messages, and a second device used by a second user has access to the
telephone network and is not connected with
the Internet; secondly, the server receives instant messages which are sent by the first device through
the Internet, wherein the instant messages include message content and
receiver information, and the
receiver information is an account number or a
telephone number of the second user; thirdly, the
telephone number of the second user is found according to the account number of the second user, or the
telephone number of the second user is extracted from the instant messages; fourthly, the message content is sent to the second device in the form of a short message through the
telephone network according to the telephone number of the second user. By means of the information communication method and
system, and the server, smooth and bidirectional instant communication can be achieved for the second user who uses the telephone network even when the second user is not connected with the Internet or not provided with a
client side, and therefore a barrier between the Internet and the telephone network is broken.
