A technique and apparatus to provide status tracking of presence and/or location of a mobile, wireless device to a requesting entity even outside of a particular wireless system. This allows wireless service providers the ability to monitor and log changes in the status of mobile stations within and/or outside their networks. Embodiments are disclosed wherein presence and/or location information is provided to entities outside of a particular servicing wireless network using the mechanisms of call processing components of a mobile network (e.g., call setup procedures), and using standard mechanisms currently available to any appropriately conforming Mobile Switching Center (MSC) element. In one disclosed embodiment, a wireless chat tracking system is implemented which utilizes a change in mobile registration status to automatically notify a chat group system outside the wireless network of current status information activity regarding a relevant device, e.g., registration activity or inactivity timeout. In the wireless chat automatic status tracking system, a registration notification (REGNOT) message is either explicitly forwarded or copied to an external IP based application (e.g., to a mobile chat group system). The change in mobile registration is communicated via a suitable signaling link (e.g., SS7, TCP/IP, etc.) between a Home Location Register (HLR) and the chat group system. Therefore, instead of a conventionally closed system using SS7 messages, REGNOT messages are pushed out over TCP/IP connections to external applications (e.g., chat servers) to automatically notify the external system of the location of a particular user.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device, comprising: receiving an IS-41 conforming registration notification message from a mobile switching center; and forwarding said IS-41 conforming registration notification message from a service control point over an Internet connection to an external device outside of a wireless network, a wireless chat room device corresponding to said forwarded IS-41 conforming registration notification message being added to a chat room based on said forwarded IS-41 conforming registration notification message. 2. The method for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 1, wherein: said registration notification message is a REGNOT message. 3. The method for automatically notifying an external chat server of a presence of a chat session participant according to claim 1, wherein: said Internet connection utilizes a TCP/IP protocol. 4. The method for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 1, wherein: said registration notification message is additionally forwarded by an SMSC. 5. The method for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 1, further comprising: adding a chat room device corresponding to said automatically forwarded registration notification message to a chat room session. 6. The method for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 5, further comprising: notifying other chat room devices regarding a presence of said added chat device. 7. The method for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 5, further comprising: sending a list of chat room devices to said wireless chat device. 8. The method for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 1, wherein: said registration notification message is signaling system #7 compliant and IS-41 compliant. 9. The method for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 1, wherein: said registration notification message is IS-41 compliant. 10. Apparatus for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device, comprising: means for receiving an IS-41 conforming registration notification message from a mobile switching center; and means for forwarding said IS-41 conforming registration notification message from a service control point over an Internet connection to an external device outside of a wireless network, a wireless chat room device corresponding to said forwarded IS-41 conforming registration notification message being added to a chat room based on said forwarded IS-41 conforming registration notification message. 11. The apparatus for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 10, wherein: said registration notification message is a REGNOT message. 12. The apparatus for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 10, wherein: said Internet connection utilizes a TCP/IP protocol. 13. The apparatus for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 10, further comprising: means for forwarding said registration notification message by an SMSC to said means for forwarding. 14. The apparatus for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 10, further comprising: means for adding a chat room device corresponding to said forwarded registration notification message to a chat room session. 15. The apparatus for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 14, further comprising: means for notifying other chat room devices regarding a presence of said added chat room device. 16. The apparatus for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 14, further comprising: means for sending a list of chat room devices to said wireless chat room device. 17. The apparatus for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 10, wherein: said registration notification message is signaling system #7 compliant and IS-41 compliant. 18. The apparatus for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device according to claim 10, wherein: said registration notification message is IS-41 compliant. 19. A method for automatically notifying an external device of a presence of a wireless device, comprising: receiving an IS-41 conforming MSInactivity notification message from a mobile switching center; and forwarding said IS-41 conforming MSInactivity message from a service control point over an Internet outside of a wireless network, a wireless chat room device corresponding to said forwarded IS-41 conforming MSInactivity notification message being added to a chat room based on said forwarded IS-41 conforming MSInactivity notification message.
