Abstract

See full text

The invention is directed to a method and system for managing a session of SMS messages between a service provider and a mobile device. An SMS message sent by a service provider includes a session key, such as a cookie, and the addresses for the mobile device and the service provider. An SMS gateway replaces the service provider's address in the SMS message with another address assigned to the gateway and stores the session key in a database. The modified SMS message is forwarded to the mobile device. When the mobile device replies to the modified SMS message and a timestamp has not expired, the SMS gateway replaces the other address provided by the gateway with the service provider's address and adds the session key to the modified SMS reply. The modified SMS reply and the Cookie is then forwarded to the service provider for processing.
