A method is provided for inquiring about information relating to a mobile terminal
of a cellular network, from a messaging server external to the cellular network.
An inquiry is sent from the messaging server to the cellular network, comprising
an external first identifier for identifying said terminal. In the cellular network
the first identifier is mapped to a second internal identifier. The information
relating to the terminal (MS) is determined with the aid of said second identifier
and a responsive message is sent from the cellular network to said messaging server.
In the response message, said information relating to the terminal is indicated
