Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal network and a method for mobile terminals to receive text messages, the method comprising a network server pages a mobile terminal and determines whether text messages can be sent; if the mobile terminal is in the Packet Transfer state, it does not respond to the paging by the network server; if the network server does not receive a response from the mobile terminal, it terminates the paging until receiving position update information from the mobile terminal. After updating the position, the mobile terminal sends position update information to the network server; the network server continues to page the mobile terminal so as to take an action to send text messages. When a mobile terminal is switching in the Packet Transfer state, it can receive and send text messages promptly and rapidly, which ensures that users can receive text messages promptly.
