SMSC

SMSC stands for Short Message Service Center. It is a server connected to an SS7 Network, whose role is to send and receive messages to and from recipient handsets. Often it operates in a “store and forward” configuration, but some carriers operate in a “forward only” or a “forward and store” configuration.
