Abstract
A device associated with a subscriber database of a telecommunication network described herein is configured to receive a Send Routing Information for Short Message (SRI-SM) message from a messaging center. The device then determines whether a user device specified by the SRI-SM message is associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration. In response to determining that the user device is associated with an IMS registration, the device sends the SRI-SM message to an IP Short Message Gateway (IP-SM-GW). In response to determining that the user device is not associated with an IMS registration, the device processes the SRI-SM message and responds to the messaging center based on the processing.
