Abstract
A system and non-transitory computer storage medium storing a computer program for delivering messages to a wireless access terminal are provided. A messaging center is in communication with a 1xEV-DO network. The messaging center is arranged to receive a message having a telephone number as a destination address for delivery to the wireless access terminal. The messaging center has a storage device and a central processing unit. The storage device stores a mapping between the telephone number, a mobile static identifier corresponding to a user of the wireless access terminal and a destination address corresponding to an IP address of the wireless access terminal in the 1xEV-DO network. The central processing unit is in communication with the storage device. The mapping between the telephone number and the IP address is based on a correspondence between the telephone number and the mobile static identifier. The mapping is evaluated to determine the IP address of the wireless access terminal in the 1xEV-DO network and the message is transmitted to the wireless access terminal using the 1xEV-DO network.
