Abstract
When a messaging service network entity, such as an IP server, fails to deliver the message via a primary messaging service, such as an Internet Protocol based messaging service, the user device sends the message directly to the recipient user via a backup messaging service, such as a short message service, SMS. Thus message is delivered and the originating user bear the cost of the use of the backup messaging service.
