I was informed of an error in a file viewer app and requested to send a report via email. Upon reviewing the report I noticed something that caught my attention. I'll copy/paste the section here.
# BEGIN Motorola, qmfd78, 14-Jul-2010, IKMAIN-884
# GSM SMS traffic needs to be routed/sent through North America SMSC.
# This is part of the VZW World-phone Feature. SMS are always sent to a US SMSC and then injected
# into that network. This allows for billing and give the user the impression that the device is
# still in the US.
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 1
# END* Motorola, qmfd78, 14-Jul-2010, IKMAIN-884
My question is: What does 'give the user the impression' mean? I don't think my phone is a world phone. Would this even apply to mine? Is it for traveling the world and not having insane bills?
