Abstract: A method includes maintaining a repository of location identifiers and billing identifiers, wherein each of a plurality of network devices is associated with a location identifier in the repository, and each location identifier is further associated with at least one billing identifier. The method further includes receiving a communications message; determining a location identifier associated with the communications message; selectively retrieving a billing identifier from the repository based at least in part on the location identifier; and determining a billing rate based at least in part on the billing identifier.

Abstract: An exemplary system and method are directed at the selective delivery of communications messages. The selective delivery may comprise receiving a communications message from a network device; determining an identifier associated with the communications message; determining whether a subscriber is blocked from receiving the communications message based at least in part on the identifier; and selectively delivering the communications message to the subscriber based on the determination.

Abstract: A method and system for handling wireless messaging errors is provided. When an error occurs during the attempted retrieval of a message, it is classified as temporal or permanent. In the event of a permanent error the message is abandoned. In the event of a temporal error, the message is placed in a waiting state. A first retry is attempted after a first waiting period has elapsed. If the first retry is unsuccessful, subsequent retries are attempted thereafter, wherein each retry attempt is attempted after a corresponding period of time has passed since the previous retry attempt. If at any time a message is successfully sent or received, an opportunity retry is attempted for each pending message without waiting the required waiting period, provided that the mobile phone is available.
