Abstract
A short message service center allowing processing characteristics to be modified for service users within a given type so that the storage and delivery of short messages to one service user of a given type may be different for another service user within the same given type is provided. The short message service center alleviates some of the potential "jams" associated with the processing of large distribution lists and closed user groups. The short message service center further allows for distributed administration. Additionally, the short message service center receives a short message in one standard format and delivers the short message in another standard format. The short message service center also utilizes both a table routing method and a global title translation method for routing messages to a recipient. The short message service center also allows a complete transmission of short messages between service entities having differing short message length definitions. The short message service center also allows for dynamic system re-configuration.
