SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE APPLICATION

摘要

An arrangement for preventing loops as a result of the forwarding or copying of SMS messages is described. When forwarding an SMS message, the recipient and/or the sender of the message is included in a message header. In this way, a list of all parties who have been in contact with the message is built up in the message header. In the event that the message is to be forwarded to a recipient who has already received the message (thereby creating a loop), the forwarding of the message to that recipient is prevented.
