1. A method for password protecting a subscriber-created distribution list that is identified by a string of characters and in a wireless network, the method comprising: providing a web interface for a subscriber of the wireless network, the web interface allowing the subscriber to manage and configure a plurality of network services; receiving, in the wireless network via a network transport bus and from the web interface, a subscriber-created password, the string of characters, and the subscriber-created distribution list comprising a plurality of destination addresses, wherein the network transport bus communicatively connects a plurality of network elements and utilizes a common messaging format for communication of wireless messages among and between the network elements and wherein the network elements comprise an adaptive routing concentrator, a routing and validation entity, and a plurality of network databases all communicatively connected to the network transport bus; associating the subscriber-created password and the string of characters with the subscriber-created distribution list; translating the subscriber created password, the string of characters, and the subscriber-created distribution list into the common messaging format with the adaptive routing concentrator; storing the subscriber-created distribution list, the string of characters, and the associated subscriber-created password in the common messaging format in at least one network database other than a storage device on a user's telecommunications device; and limiting access to the subscriber-created distribution list based on the subscriber-created password, wherein the subscriber-created distribution list links the plurality of destination addresses together such that, after the subscriber accesses accessing the subscriber-created distribution list with the subscriber created password, the wireless network sends a message to the plurality of destination addresses when the subscriber denotes denoting the string of characters associated with the subscriber-created distribution list as a destination for the message sends the message to the plurality of destination addresses, and wherein a second adaptive routing concentrator receives the message, and after determining that the message is addressed to a destination device associated with the second adaptive routing concentrator, the second adaptive routing concentrator converts the message to a format of the destination device and sends the message to the destination device.
