Are you interested how delivery mechanism works?
The store and forward way of Short Message Service transmits the messages from senders to recipients. When the message is typed and sent, it is received by a Short Message Service Centre (SMSC), which then gets it to a mobile device. The SMSC does this by sending an SMS Request to the home location register (HLR) to find the recipient. After receiving the request, the HLR sends back the recipient's status to the SMSC. The status can be active or inactive and it also includes the location where the recipient is roaming. If the response is "inactive", the SMSC holds back the message. If the HLR finds access to the target device a notification is sent to the SMSC and the delivery occurs. When a message is received by the recipient the SMSC categorizes it as "sent" and delivers it no more.
