SMS Firewall
BICS’ SMS Firewall solution provides mobile operators with a safe spam-free roaming and messaging environment that their subscribers can trust, while reducing complaints about unsolicited messages. It stops spoofed and faked messages, releasing network bandwidth for revenue generating traffic, and prevents content providers from bypassing SMS termination fees.
SMS Firewall is available as an SMS anti-fraud solution along with the BICS Signaling service and protects the client operator network and subscribers against a range of SMS fraud cases as defined by GSMA.
