Method And Telecommunication System For Transmission Of A Message
First Claim
1. A method for transmission of a message from a first telecommunication terminal to a second telecommunication terminal, of which at least one terminal is connected to a line-connected telephone network, comprising:
- inputting a short message, via an input keypad or a touchscreen, to the first telecommunication terminal;
converting the short message into a short message format;
establishing a connection setup to the network;
transmitting the short message in the short message format to a short message service center and further to the second telecommunication terminal, wherein the transmission of the short message in the short message format to the short message service center and/or to the second telecommunication terminal is carried out by means of DTMF or FSK off-hook signaling in the voice band, andconverting the short message obtained from the short message service center in the second telecommunication terminal into an output format.
