Abstract

A service provider uses a telemetry gateway to communicate with radio communication devices using various incompatible short message service (SMS) protocols. A communication, from the service provider to a radio communicati on device, passes through the telemetry gateway. The telemetry gateway determin es the communication protocol of the radio communication device and converts the communication from a common protocol to the radio communication device's protocol. The telemetry gateway also determines and sends the converted communication over the appropriate communication path for receipt by the rad io communication device. The telemetry gateway is also operable for providing registration information and receiving a communication from a radio communication device. The telemetry gateway can convert the received communication to a common protocol and transmit the converted communication to the service provider.</ SDOAB>

7. A method for communicating a message from a radio communication device to a recipient comprising the steps of:
receiving the message from the radio communication device;
retrieving a profile associated with the radio communication device from a storage medium;
sending the message using information in the profile to a telemetry gateway for conversion to a common protocol and transmission to the recipient;
receiving a delivery confirmation from the telemetry gateway; and sending a message acknowledgement to the radio communication device.
8. The method of Claim 7, wherein the step of retrieving the profile further comprises, if there is no profile in the storage medium, requesting registration information associated with the radio communication device from the telemetry gateway; and creating a profile entry with the registration information in the storage medium.
9. The method of Claim 7, wherein the received message has a protocol that is CDMA, TDMA, or GSM.
10. The method of Claim 7, wherein the transmission of the converted message to the recipient is performed in accordance with a delivery preference of the recipient.
11. The method of Claim 7, wherein the recipient is an email system, a voicemail system, or a web-based messaging system.
12. The method of Claim 7, wherein the recipient and the radio communication device are associated with different communication carriers.
13. A method for communicating a message from an originating communication device to a radio communication device comprising the steps of:
sending the message in a first format to a telemetry gateway, wherein the telemetry gateway is operable for, transmitting a routing request to a mobile switching center based on the information in the message;
receiving a routing response for the message;
converting the message to a second format based on the routing response; and transmitting the converted message to the mobile switching center for forwarding to the radio communication device.
14. The method of Claim 13, wherein the originating communication device and the radio communication device subscribe to different communication networks.
15. The method of Claim 13, wherein the originating communication device is an email system, a voicemail system, or a Web-based messaging system.
16. The method of Claim 13, wherein the second format is CDMA, TDMA, or GSM.
