Routing messages between different networks

摘要

Disclosed is a message routing method and system in which an identifier of the mobile device in a telecommunications network is used to route messages to a client in another network, for example via a wireless LAN connection. This may enable a user to receive a mobile telecommunications message on another device via another network without requiring multiple identifiers and may enable offloading of telecommunications network bandwidth. An embodiment describes a mobile telephone unique identity assigned to a computer in a WLAN. There fore, when the user is sent an SMS or MMS it is routed to the user's computer and not their mobile telephone.
