Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for reprioritizing messages received at a short message service center (SMSC). The system maintains a queue of messages with prioritization. The system receives a first message transmission request. The system determines that the message transmission request contains a prioritization indicator. When the first message transmission request contains the first prioritization indicator, the system adds the first message to the queue at a higher rank than at least a subset of other messages in the queue that were received at the SMSC before the first message.
