What Is SMSC ?

A Short Message Service Center (SMSC) is a network element in the mobile telephone network which delivers SMS messages.

All SMS sent by a mobile subscriber are first submitted to SMSC of his mobile network. After submission SMSC find the location of destination mobile subscriber and deliver the SMSC to that subscriber. SMSC works on store and forward mechanism. If for some reasons SMSC is unable to deliver SMS to destination subscriber, SMSC can store this SMS for longer durations and keep retrying to deliver this SMS at regular interval.
