A method is provided for receiving a wireless message in a mobile
telecommunication system. This may include a mobile station (MS)
receiving a wireless message. A judgment may be made whether the received
message is a general SMS message or a SMS message for a MMS. The message
may be directly stored if the received message is a general SMS message.
The user may then be informed of a message reception. The RR connection
may be released when the received message is a SMS message for a MMS. A
flag setting may then be performed. The RR may be reconnected and the
second message may be received. These options may be repeated until the
second message is received. The two SMS messages may be decoded and
formed into one message when the second message for a MMS is received.
The message may be stored, decoded and the user may be informed of a
message reception. The RR connection may be released, the flag setting
may be changed and a RAU processing may be performed.
