An arrangement for transmitting emails between subscribers of a mobile or cellular telecommunications network 33, or from a subscriber of the mobile telecommunications network 33 to a recipient 25A in another domain, or from an originator 1 in another domain to a subscriber of the network 33 is disclosed. In the example where the email originates from a user 1 in a different domain, the email message is stored in the conventional manner by store 3. The email is then directed by SMTP gateway 5 to the network 33 via the Internet 9. The message is received by the HLR 15 of the mobile network 33. A Global Address List 31 is provided in the HLR 15 which contains a list of IMSIs of the subscribers of the network 33 corresponding to their email addresses. The email message content is then extracted and the appropriate IMSI obtained from the Global Address List 31 is appended to the message content and this is then passed to a first in, first out queue 29. When the message reaches the top of the queue it is distributed by the HLR to either the subscriber's mobile device 25A (via the appropriate MSC and BS) or is transmitted by suitable Internet protocol such as SOAP over http to the subscriber's PC35, which is authenticated with the network using the subscriber's SIM 37. |
