'''SMS home routing''' is a term used in [[mobile telephony]] referring to cases in which the responsibility for the delivery of a [[Short message service]] ([[SMS]]) is assumed by the receiving [[mobile operator]] rather than the sending mobile operator. [[Mobile network operator|Mobile operator]] operatorss use SMS home routing to control the reception of SMS messages into their network, in all cross-network [[SMS]] traffic, including [[roaming]] situations.

==Introduction==

Line 16:

By implementing [[SMS]] home routing, the receiving [[operator]] has a control over message delivery, which would enable it to offer its subscribers value-added services that might include anti-spam, auto reply, parental control and divert and auto copy. Theoretically operators can charge a premium cost for these features and therefore generate new revenue streams.

[[Mobile network operator|Mobile]] operators might use [[SMS]] home routing as a filtering system, especially to prevent [[Spam (electronic)|spam]]. This, however, has to be a transparent process especially when communicating this implementation to the operator’s roaming partners.

A number of mobile messaging infrastructure providers are legitimately offering products under this category, including Symsoft, Telsis, Acision and Intervoice solutions from Convergys.
