For all of our automated message-sending processes, we have introduced a new process which chooses the most suitable messaging route:

• MinBal Notifications
  As 'tm4b.com' is used as the originator of SMS MinBal Notifications, routing preference is given to Business Class as it is less expensive.
• SMS Forwarding
  To preserve the originator of MO SMS as far as possible, routing preference is given to Global I.
• SMS Responses
  If the specified is static, routing preference is given to Global II as it less expensive. Otherwise, to preserve the originator as far as possible, routing preference is given to Global I.

In addition to minimising the cost of messaging, this new process simplifies the configuration of these applications as the messaging route no longer needs to be considered. Furthermore, in the case of SMS Responses, the previous rigidity of selecting one route restricted the potential network coverage to that route only; with this new process, the combined network coverage of both routes have been made available.
