Abstract:
A first telephony identifier and a second telephony identifier are used for communication with a first, multi-identity user. Each of the first and second telephony identifiers are configured for use as different destination addresses in different SMS messages sent to the first user. At least one SMS message is processed in SMS processing equipment in the network, and the SMS processing equipment performs identity management, in relation to the use of the first and second telephony identifiers for the first user, during processing of the at least one SMS message.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for processing communications in a telephony network, the method comprising:\n processing at least one SMS message in SMS processing equipment in the telephony network, wherein first and second telephony identifiers are associated with a first, multi-identity user, and wherein each of the first and second telephony identifiers is useable as a destination address in an SMS message sent to the first user; and performing identity management, in relation to the use of the first and second telephony identifiers for the first user, during said processing of the at least one SMS message at the SMS processing equipment, wherein said performing said identity management comprises:\n accessing stored data indicative of an association between at least one characteristic derivable from an SMS message and at least one of the first and second telephony identifiers; and \n selecting one of the first telephony identifier and the second telephony identifier on the basis of the stored data, \n wherein the telephony network comprises a circuit-switched core, a packet-switched core and gateway equipment connecting the circuit-switched core and the packet-switched core, wherein the gateway equipment implements transport layer interworking for SMS messages transmitted between the packet-switched core and the circuit-switched core, and wherein the identity management is performed at the gateway equipment.
