1. A method comprising:

  • receiving a page message from a base station (BS) at a mobile station (MS), the page message configured to initiate a mobile-terminated (MT) call or an MT session between the BS and the MS to enable sending at least one short message service (SMS) message from the BS to the MS during the MT call or the MT session;

    in response to receiving said page message transmitted to the MS to initiate said MT call or said MT session, transmitting, by the MS, an origination message to said BS to initiate a mobile-originated (MO) call or MO session instead of causing establishment of said MT call or said MT session; and

    upon initiating the MO call or the MO session in response to receiving from the BS said page message configured to initiate the MT call or the MT session, causing a bi-directional exchange of SMS messages between the MS and BS during the MO call or the MO session such that the at least one SMS message from the BS to the MS is received at the MS during the MO call or the MO session, and at least one message from the MS to the BS is transmitted from the MS during the MO call or the MO session.
