How Can I Associate a Downlink SMS with an Uplink SMS? (Chinese Mainland SMS)

You can use the combination of the recipient number and Channel No. to associate a downlink SMS with an uplink SMS. The following table describes an example:

When a UE (recipient number) receives a downlink SMS and directly replies to the SMS, a downlink SMS can be associated with an uplink SMS. If you use a number other than the recipient number to reply to the SMS, that is, the recipient number of the downlink SMS is different from the sending number of the uplink SMS, the downlink and uplink SMSs cannot be associated.

If only one downlink SMS is sent from a number defined by Channel No. to a recipient number, the downlink and uplink SMSs can be associated. If multiple downlink SMSs are sent to a recipient number, a one-to-one association cannot be made.
