Abstract
The disclosed technology is directed towards routing, by a mobile network operator, a message to a messaging hub associated with a partner carrier or to the partner carrier itself. In response to receiving a message to reroute, a data store (e.g., an ENUM database) is queried to attempt to obtain information corresponding to the routing. For example, when the query response includes a regular expression that specifies a domain, the domain is evaluated against a data structure of respective messaging hubs associated with respective domains. If the returned domain is matched such that an associated messaging hub is identified, the message is routed to the identified messaging hub; otherwise a mobile network partner carrier is determined based on the telephone number of the message recipient, and the message is routed to the determined partner carrier.
