The invention discloses a method for forwarding multimedia messages (MMs)
between different multimedia messaging service centers (MMSCs),
comprising: a) an originator MMSC receiving a MM submitted by an
originator terminal, then editing and generating a routing forward
request message; b) the originator MMSC sending the routing forward
request message generated in step a) to a recipient MMSC; c) the
recipient MMSC returning a routing forward response message to the
originator MMSC after receiving the routing forward request message; d)
the recipient MMSC delivering the MM according to the MM related
information contained in the routing forward request message; and e) the
recipient MMSC generating a delivery report according to the current
delivery status and sending it to the originator MMSC. With this
invention, the problem is solved that the originator MMSC cannot exactly
know whether the MM has been correctly delivered to the recipient
terminal from the originator terminal under the condition the recipient
terminal does not generate a delivery report in the process of MM
forwarding.
