A Short Message Serving System (SMSC) can be configured to determine a format of a short service message (SMS) message with a read acknowledgement request. The SMSC can also be configured to generate a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) multi-segment short message that includes user data from the SMS message and comprises a plurality of ordered segments. The GSM multi-segment short message can include a read acknowledgement request.

摘要:
A prepaid messaging solution that utilizes a pre-delivery debit query to tariff a short message, coupled with an additional debit query performed once necessary billing information has been acquired. A short message is tariffed prior to message delivery via a pre-delivery debit query to a prepaid server. During message delivery, the prepaid server is queried a second time, following the HLR query performed by the Short Message Service Center (SMSC). This subsequent debit query bills a subscriber for any additional service fees discovered throughout message delivery, e.g., international/roaming fees, etc. If either the pre-delivery debit query or the subsequent debit query indicates that a subscriber has insufficient account balance to deliver a short message, the message is prevented from being delivered. If a message is dropped due to lack of account balance, any funds debited throughout the attempted message delivery may be credited back to the subscriber's prepaid account.
摘要:
A method enabling a device the ability to maintain a personal distribution list (PDL), i.e., a group contact list, via manipulation of text messages sent over the SMS, with service homed on the SMSC. Each PDL is maintained on an SMSC affiliated with the list's originating device and is referenced with a trigger address, either particularly or implicitly defined. When an SMSC receives an SMS message destined to a trigger address, identifying a PDL, the SMSC copies the originally transmitted text message for every recipient in the list. The SMSC subsequently routes each duplicate text message to every address contained within the indicated PDL, via conventional SMS procedures. Syntax indicating list management operations (e.g., add, delete, list entries, and delete, synch, and/or tag entire list) may be indicated in the body of an SMS message addressed to the local address of the SMSC for list management capabilities.

摘要:
Text messages with alphanumeric addresses are delivered to mobiles and external short message entities (ESMEs) which do not support alphanumeric addressing, providing meaningful fallback handling. Additionally, the invention enables delivery of SMPP messages from ESME or SMPP networks which can only originate numeric addresses, yet provide for mapping to alphanumeric addresses for delivery to the mobile. A two-way mapping is provided between alphanumeric addresses and SMS short-codes to enable delivery of text messages with alphanumeric addressing in networks which contain mobiles and/or ESME's that lack support of alphanumeric addressing. An ESME can send a text message using an alphanumeric origination address, without knowing which handsets support the capability, and which do not, or whether handsets are on CDMA, or GSM, or UMTS, or networks, or can continue to send using a numeric origination address. The SMSC provides conversions to alphanumeric addresses on behalf of the ESME and the mobile.
