Today’s mobile customer expects SMS service to support messaging to anyone from anywhere. The ANSI-41 protocol, however, is not compatible with SMS roaming and was not designed to support SMS billing. TNS SMS Roaming Services help resolve these problems and facilitate the routing and billing functionality necessary so operators can increase opportunities to generate SMS revenues and offer a seamless SMS roaming service to both subscribers and visitors.
