A mobile network operator is typically a company that provides people with a mobile or wireless telephony service. At Messaggio we refer to these companies universally as ‘Operators’ and most of our documentation will refer to them as such. They are also known as Wireless Carriers or just Carriers. In trying to explain how a message gets from point A to point B, we use the additional terms, ‘Terminating Operator’ and ‘Destination Operator’.
