Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method and system for passing information or message contents between a mobile terminal (310 and 320) and various networks entities (350) in a hybrid wireless network (300). The hybrid network (300) implements a special mobile switching center (308) to be a 'double agent' passing information between the mobile terminal (310 and 320) and entities (350) in its core network (302). In the context of messaging, the message contents may be encoded, packaged, and decoded appropriately. The present disclosure does not introduce any changes to telecommunication standards such as the GSM and CDMA standards governing the messaging process (304 and 306).
