Abstract: A method is described for extending a text message with content wherein the text message is sent by a mobile terminal via a Short Message Service Center (SMSC) of a communications system to a recipient and wherein the communications system further comprises a Content Service Center (CSC). The method comprises the steps of receiving at the CSC the text message originating from the SMSC; generating a content-extended text message by adding at least one piece of content to at least a part of the text message; and, sending the content-extended text message depending on the size of the content-extended text message in one or more mobile terminated short messages (MT/SM) to the recipient.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for SMS forwarding are disclosed. A message service message routing information response message containing message service message routing information for a first destination may be received. The response message is modified to direct a mobile terminated message service message intended for the first destination to the message service message proxy. The mobile terminated message service message is received at the message service message proxy, which determines whether a message service message forwarding feature is enabled for the first destination. If a message service message forwarding feature is enabled for the first destination, it is determined whether the mobile terminated message service message is eligible for forwarding to a second destination. If the mobile terminated message service message is eligible for forwarding, signaling is initiated to forward the mobile terminated message service message to the second destination.
