ABSTRACT:
A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for allowing a mobile subscriber to define a date and time of delivery for a Short Message Service (SMS) message sent by the mobile subscriber to another mobile subscriber. This can be accomplished by transporting the date and time delivery information to the SMS Service Center along with the SMS message, where it can be stored until the requested time of delivery. Once the requested time of delivery occurs, the SMS message can be forwarded to desired mobile subscriber. Alternatively, the SMS message can be stored in either the Mobile Switching Center or the mobile terminal itself until the specified date and time of delivery is reached. Advantageously, embodiments of the present invention both allow mobile subscribers the ability to send messages to themselves at predetermined times, and allow a supervisor to program the delivery of an SMS message to employees.
