Abstract
A short message service parser is disclosed. The short message service parser is typically a computer server programmed by computer software. The short message service parser has the ability to handle different short message service messages from different senders and process, analyze, parse, and reformat the messages. The messages are typically reformatted into a format readable for various backend computer systems available on a computer network. The backend computer system processes a request or a transaction and returns a result back to the short message service parser. The short message service parser sends the results back to a sender device, which may be a cellular telephone.
