If the number of text fees exceed the regular service charge, the company should over-charge the user.
So this patent application is certainly an extension of a previous patent, of "call waiting" feature. I would like to note that an extension of a patent does not necessarily mean that the extended patent should be obvious and un-novel - and I believe this patent application is another new innovation. However, if this one-click text system is all this tool has to offer, I think that's just rather too simple. My suggestion is pushing this idea further by coining different situations, such as, "what if there are more than one person calling while you're on the phone - would the "one-click text" system still work?", "if an user has 1000 contacts, and if he/she needs to type in 1000 different messages (because an user probably wouldn't want to send the same message to his/her grandma, boss, or a best friend, for example), wouldn't it be just inconvenient for the user to type in 1000 messages?".
