  • Patent number: 7761105
    Abstract: A grooming technique for managing text message traffic in mobile telephone networks, such as SMS text messages, involves directing certain text messages to a first delivery means (30) which attempts text message delivery one or more times to a destination mobile switching centre (22) or to a host (24) without passing through a store and forward function. Other text messages are directed to a second delivery means, involving a short message service centre (14), which provides a store and forward function for repeated attempted delivery of the text messages.
