Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for receiving or sending a short message. The method includes: receiving a first message sent by an MSC/VLR; determining that a user equipment is in an abnormal state according to the first message; and sending a second message to the user equipment, where the second message is used to instruct the user equipment to initiate attachment to the MSC/VLR. The apparatus includes a receiving module, a first determining module and a sending module. According to the method and apparatus for receiving or sending a short message provided by embodiments of the present invention, information of instructing the user equipment to initiate attachment to the MSC/VLR is sent to the user equipment, so that the context of the user equipment can be established on the MSC/VLR, thereby solving the problem that the user equipment cannot receive or send a short message when the user equipment is in an abnormal state due to reasons such as a failure of the MSC/VLR, thereby achieving receiving or sending of a short message, increasing a self-recovery capability of a network, and improving the user experience. |
