re: Canadian Nationwide Interoperable SMS >> SMS Interconnection Launched in Canada 3-Apr-2002 Cellular News Canada's Bell Mobility, Microcell PCS (Fido), Rogers AT&T Wireless and TELUS Mobility have jointly launched the commercial availability of inter-carrier SMS across Canada. Leveraging CMG Wireless Data Solutions' Inter-Short Message Service Center Router (ISR), customers of Canada's four wireless communications providers can now send SMS text messages by simply addressing their message to a recipient's wireless phone number. Each carrier will route out-of-network SMS messages to the ISR, which will then instantly route the message to the appropriate carrier and then to the recipient's wireless handset. CMG's ISR will bridge all of the leading wireless network technologies to create seamless wireless text messaging for customers across the country regardless of their service provider. "Inter-carrier cooperation and cutting-edge technology have taken the Canadian wireless experience to another level of wireless services," said Peter Barnes, President and CEO, Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA), which facilitated the co-operation agreement. "This move continues the long tradition of Canadian operators being at the forefront of North American wireless technology and enables participating carriers to launch new mobile applications and services that meet customer needs and facilitate their use of innovative wireless communications solutions." Each carrier will approach billing independently. - Eric -
