3G SMS Barring from RNC Side

Hi Expert,

Do you know if 3G SMS barring can be managed from the RNC side?

I assume it should be handled by the core HLR, but I wanted to check if you have any insights.

Thanks!

Just to confirm, yes, it should be handled through the HLR profile, especially if the message is directed toward a specific IMSI.

Absolutely correct - SMS-related barring features are not available for RAN node access.
