Abstract: PURPOSE: A lost mobile management system for out bound roaming and method thereof are provided to easily collect a mobile communication terminal by FDN function if a subscriber lost the mobile communication terminal in abroad network. CONSTITUTION: An outbound roamer receives the lost of a mobile communication terminal(S201). A CCBS(Customer Care and Billing System) register the lost of the mobile communication terminal in an RSCP(Roaming Service Control Point)(S203). A UMC(USIM Management Center) generates SMS(Short Message Service) message for OTA(On The Air) for RDN(Fixed Dialing Number) update and activation of the mobile communication terminal. A SMSC(Short Message Service Center) questions the location of the mobile communication terminal in HLR(Home Location Register)(S207). The SMSC transfers the SMS message to the mobile communication terminal according to response signal of the HLR(S209,S210).
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for improving Short Message Service (SMS) availability by mobile equipment (ME) includes determining the ME has a fixed dialing number (FDN) list, receiving an over-the-air update identifying an update to a Short Message Services Center (sMSC) address (e.g., due to roaming), and automatically updating the SMSC address in the FDN list.
Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to mobile-originated short message services are provided. In an example, a method for improving Short Message Service (SMS) availability by mobile equipment (ME) includes determining the ME has a Fixed Dialing Number (FDN) list, receiving an over-the-air update identifying an update to a Short Message Service Center (SMSC) address (e.g., due to roaming), and automatically updating the SMSC address in the FDN list. The updating of the SMSC address in the FDN list can include adding the SMSC address to the FDN list, with or without replacing another SMSC address. The method can further include detecting that the ME has an FDN mode enabled; transmitting an SMS message using the updated the SMSC address; presenting, via a user interface, a user notification stating that the SMSC address is updated; or a combination thereof.
