Indirect transmission of data from a mobile terminal

摘要

Method for transmitting data from a mobile terminal 1 in which a file comprising the data combined with a destination identifier in character-coded form is divided into blocks which are transmitted via a circuit- switched mobile communication network 4 to a store-and-forward apparatus 3. When all the data has been received by the store-and-forward apparatus, it forwards the file to its ultimate destination via a non-mobile network 5. The mobile terminal can reconnect to the store-and-forward apparatus if the connexion is lost during transmission.
