Abstract
An overall MO message transmission method involves transmission of multiple messages in a single dialogue. It comprises a first leg between the mobile device and the serving MSC, a second leg between the serving element and the inter-working MSC, and a third leg from the inter-working MSC to the service centre (SC). Use of a single dialogue is of particular benefit where there is concatenation of multiple messages derived from a single user-generated message which is over the stipulated number of characters. The invention adds an information element (RP-MMS) to the RP-MO-DATA element. The purpose of this new information element is to indicate that there are more messages to follow.
