First Claim
1. A method for filtration of unwanted wireless telecommunications comprising the steps of:
- monitoring traffic associated with roaming subscribers, said traffic carried via inter-network Internet Protocol links;
intercepting a send-routing-information message from an originating node within said traffic;
initiating a response to said originating node so as to direct said originating node to send a short message service (SMS) or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) associated with said send-routing-information message to an SPAM-filter via an SMS or MMS delivery message;
