'''SMS Home Routing''' is a modification to the original [[GSM]] specifications that changed the way inbound (off-net) [[SMS]] messages are treated by mobile [[telecommunications]] networks. Adopted by the [[3GPP]] in 2007, Home Routing was devised to enable mobile networks to offer a full range of advanced services on both inbound and outbound SMS, giving more utility to phone users and enabling operators to generate additional [[revenue]].
Line 7 ⟶ 6:
This inconsistency arose from the fact that SMS was conceived as a [[voicemail]] alert system, not a person-to-person messaging system, and it put SMS out of step with most other forms of communication including voice telephony, email and MMS where the home entity has responsibility for the management of both inbound and outbound traffic.
In 2006 UK mobile operator [[Vodafone]] argued before the 3GPP<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/23840.htm|title=23840}}</ref> that by effectively putting a large percentage of SMS traffic outside the direct control of the receiving network, the original GSM specification prevented operators from generating new revenue by offering certain types of [[Value-added service|value-added]] SMS services.
