METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR USING AN E.164 NUMBER (ENUM) DATABASE FOR MESSAGE SERVICE MESSAGE ROUTING RESOLUTION AMONG 2G AND SUBSEQUENT GENERATION NETWORK SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for using an E.164 number (ENUM) database for message service message routing resolution among 2G and subsequent generation network systems are disclosed. According to one method, a message including message service message content is received. The message may include a 2G message recipient identifier. An ENUM database may be queried. A response from the ENUM database is received. Based on the response, unavailability of a subsequent generation network address for the recipient is determined. In response to the unavailability, the message service message content is attempted to be delivered to the recipient via a 2G network.
