METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE (SMS) FORWARDING

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for SMS forwarding are disclosed. One method includes performing steps at a message service message proxy separate from a short message service center and implemented on a computing platform including at least one processor. The steps include receiving a message service message routing information response message containing message service message routing information for a first destination. The response message is modified to direct a mobile terminated message service message intended for the first destination to the message service message proxy. The mobile terminated message service message is then received at the message service message proxy and the message service message proxy determines whether a message service message forwarding feature is enabled for the first destination. In response to determining that a message service message forwarding feature is enabled for the first destination, it is determined whether the mobile terminated message service message is eligible for forwarding to a second destination. In response to determining the mobile terminated message service message is eligible for forwarding, signaling is initiated to forward the mobile terminated message service message to the second destination.
