Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a Messaging Service system which includes one or more Messaging Service terminals and a control means being adapted for communication with a printing means. The Messaging Service terminal is adapted to send a message to the control means, which message contains a print-related information section and a message content section representing the message content. The print-related information section contains print-related information and designates the delivery of the message content section to the printing means or to a second Messaging Service terminal. The system is preferably implemented as a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) system. The message content section may represent one or more images.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus implementing the method which allow the subscriber to evaluate the authenticity of sender data in an incoming messaging message. Messaging centers are arranged to add an indication containing information on whether the identity of the sender of a message transmitted by the messaging center is guaranteed to data units containing a messaging message. If the data unit containing the messaging message comprises said indication, the subscriber's terminal indicates the information included in the indication to the subscriber.

Abstract: A method and an equipment implementing the method for implementing the billing of short messages in a mobile communication system. The method comprises steps wherein a message is submitted to a short message service centre to be delivered to a subscriber; the message is delivered from the short message service centre to the mobile station of the subscriber via the mobile communication system; and at least one charge record is created per each transferred short message. In the solution of the invention the short message comprises an advice of charge which directly or indirectly indicates the price to be billed for reception of the short message, and the object of the billing; and said advice of charge or an actual advice of charge defined on the basis thereof is included in a charge record created on the basis of the short message.

Abstract: A method and an equipment implementing the method in a mobile communication system in which short messages may be sent amid actual signalling, whereby one of more short message service centers providing short message services are linked to the mobile communication system. An identifier supplied by the subscriber and associated with the desired service is included in a mobile originated short message. On the basis of this identifier a database search is performed in a database connected with the mobile communication system, the database comprising identifiers associated with short message services available to subscribers and related routing information. The message is sent to the routing address obtained on the basis of the database search. A short message submitted by a subscriber may thus be routed to the desired short message service center without the subscriber having to directly attend to the routing.
