ABSTRACT:
A mobile services control platform supports enhanced services for SMS or MMS message forwarding. The service allows a subscriber to receive SMS (Short Message Service) directed to his or her mobile number across a range of devices, depending on the context, the device, and the network the user is connected from. In a representative example, when the user connects over a Wi-Fi network, e.g., using his or her laptop or other such device, he or she selects “Wi-Fi SMS” option from a client. As a result, future SMS sent to the user's mobile number get routed to his or her laptop over Wi-Fi—without the sender being aware that the user has connected over a different network. Similarly, SMS messages sent by the user from his or her laptop Wi-Fi client (e.g., through a softphone) are delivered to the recipient's mobile device as if they originated from the mobile phone. When Wi-Fi SMS is activated, preferably voice calls continue to be received over the mobile phone, with only SMS forwarded to Wi-Fi. When the user disables Wi-Fi SMS or disconnects from the Wi-Fi network, SMS messages are routed back over to the mobile phone.
