Description of the Invention (1) [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a processing system and method for mobile communication devices, and more particularly, to a system and a system for enabling a text message charging center to use different pricing fees for different types of text messages. method. [Knowledge technology] Short Message Service (SMS) is a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) system that provides a message transmission service for mobile communication device users. The short message is based on the GSM signalling link. It will not occupy a traffic channel, so users can still have a phone conversation at the same time during the transmission of the newsletter. Taking the point-to-point service of the SMS service as an example, the SMS is sent to a specific mobile communication device user, and each SMS message can accommodate up to 60 bits. Today ’s SMS service can be used not only to transmit simple text and numbers, but also to display more services such as email, e-cards, chat rooms, and online games. However, taking a chat room as an example, each short message sent needs to be calculated based on the cost of the message. If you play a short message service such as a chat room, you need to send about 40 or 50 messages. , The overall cost will be too high, reducing the user's willingness to use. So, how to make the SMS billing center distinguish between general SMS and special SMS & 如, such as using chat rooms, or need to send a lot of SMS called special SMS), so that the two can be calculated at different costs , Such as special Jane
