A method for delivering data in at least two short messages being concatenated to each other wherein a short message is delivered from an originating party to a destination party through a short message service center, an acknowledgement indicating a successful delivery of the delivered short message is received by the originating party from the short message center, and in response to the receipt of the acknowledgement indicating a successful delivery of the previous short message, at least one other short message is delivered to the destination party. A server implementing at least part of the method steps is also described.
1. A method for delivering data in at least two short messages being concatenated to each other, the method comprising:
delivering a short message from an originating party to a destination party through a short message service center,
receiving, by the originating party, an acknowledgement indicating a successful delivery of the delivered short message from the short message center, wherein the acknowledgement is transmitted by the short message center in response to a receipt of acknowledgement received from the destination party indicating a successful delivery of the delivered short message to the destination party, and
delivering, in response to the receipt of the acknowledgement indicating a successful delivery of the previous short message, at least one other short message to the destination party through the short message service center.
2. A server for delivering data in at least two short messages being concatenated to each other, the server comprising:
a processing unit; and
a memory unit storing portions of computer program code;
wherein by executing at least part of the portions of the computer program code by the processing unit the server is caused to:
deliver a short message from the server to a destination party through a short message service center,
receive an acknowledgement indicating a successful delivery of the delivered short message from the short message center, wherein the acknowledgement is transmitted by the short message center in response to a receipt of acknowledgement received from the destination party indicating a successful delivery of the delivered short message to the destination party, and
deliver, in response to the receipt of the acknowledgement indicating a successful delivery of the previous short message, at least one other short message to the destination party through the short message service center.
