Abstract
A method and system including messaging center connectable to a first communication network and a second communication network. The messaging center is arranged to receive a message having a destination address based on the first communication protocol for delivery to a wireless access terminal. The messaging center has a storage device and a central processing unit in communication with the storage device. The storage device stores a mapping between a first destination address corresponding to a first communication protocol destination address of the wireless access terminal in the first communication network and a second communication protocol destination address corresponding to a destination address of the wireless access terminal in the second communication network. The central processing unit evaluates the mapping to determine the destination address of the wireless access terminal in the second communication network and transmits the message to the wireless access terminal using the second communication network.
