ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method in a wireless communications system (WCS) of controlling charging procedures for message services which enable transport of messages from a mobile station (MS) to a service center (SC), the method comprising transporting a message from the mobile station (MS) for example via a network node (MSC/VLR) to the service center (SC), temporarily storing the message at the service center (40), sending a first confirmation acknowledging receipt of the message at a service center (SC) to the mobile station (MS), and, if the mobile station (MS) acknowledges receipt of the first confirmation, routing the message from the service center (SC) to a recipient of the message and initiating a charging procedure (CU) for a message. The invention also relates to a network node (MSC/VLR) implementing this method and a wireless communications system (WSC) comprising such a network node (MSC/VLR).
