CITIC 1616 launched its first mobile international SMS hubbing services in 2003. In the same year, CITIC 1616 became one of the international SMS carriers to China's mobile operators, carrying international SMS in and out of China and to the rest of the world. CITIC 1616 handles a large majority of the in-bound and out-bound international messages for one of the largest mobile telecoms operators in China. As one of the leading SMS hubbing services providers in Asia, CITIC 1616 supports SMS exchanges between GSM, CDMA and PHS networks and as an international telecoms hub, CITIC 1616 is directly connected with major China telecoms operators for their SMS traffic. CITIC 1616 is also one of the two providers of Hong Kong inter-operator SMS hubbing services and handles a substantial portion of the SMS traffic generated amongst Hong Kong mobile telecoms operators.

CITIC 1616's SMS hub has been developed to meet international SMS requirements. Its SMS hub is able to provide interoperability between the different protocols and standards that telecoms operators use and to serve the increasingly diverse requirements of CITIC 1616's customers under both TDM and IP networks. Some of the features of CITIC 1616's SMS Hubbing Services include:
