'''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. ▼
▲'''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.

==The roots of the problem==
The original GSM specifications provided for all outbound and cross-network messaging to pass through the home network message entity, but inbound messages generated on other networks to be sent directly to target handsets under the control of the sending network, not the home network.
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
In 2006 UK mobile operator [[Vodafone]] argued before the 3GPP<ref>http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/23840.htm</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 SMS services.
==The Home Routing solution==
Home Routing uses the recipient network Home Location Register (HLR) to change the flow of inbound off-net messages, directing them to an SMS router, rather than straight to target handsets. There, advanced services such as divert, copy, archiving and anti-spam can be applied before messages are delivered.
