It executes the following steps: A subscriber applies to open the individuation receipt service after a short message is received and customizes individuation receipt information. After a short message sending terminal sends a short message to the subscriber's mobile terminal via a short message center, the short message sending terminal inquires service information. After receiving a receipt status signaling returned back from the short message receiving terminal, the short message sending terminal sends out a request to the service platform for sending individuation receipt information. The service platform sends the receipt information to the short message sending terminal. The present invention presents an application to the communication network for opening individuation receipt service and customizing the individuation receipt information via the subscriber so as to enable the communication network to send out a short message receipt information which can highlight the subscriber's own individuality to the short message sending terminal according to the subscriber's requirement after the subscriber's mobile terminal receives the short message.
