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 links;
intercepting a request for routing information from an originating node within said traffic;
sending a response to said request directing said originating node to send a short message service (SMS) message or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message associated with said request to a spam-filter;
receiving said SMS message or MMS message at said spam-filter;

Abstract
A method and system for filtering unwanted wireless telecommunications includes structure and steps/function for monitoring traffic associated with roaming subscribers, the traffic being carried via inter-network Internet Protocol links. Structure and steps/function are also provided for intercepting a send-routing-information message from an originating node within the traffic, and initiating a response to the originating node so as to direct the originating node to send a short message service (SMS) or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) associated with the send-routing-information message to a SPAM-filter via an SMS or MMS delivery message. Structure and steps/function are further provided for receiving the SMS or MMS at the SPAM-filter, and determining, at the SPAM-filter, whether the SMS or MMS constitutes an unwanted message. Also, structure and steps/function are provided for invoking an action for managing the SMS based on results of the determining process.

12. A system for filtration of unwanted wireless telecommunications comprising:
-
an incoming interface configured to monitor traffic associated with roaming subscribers, said traffic carried via inter-network links; said incoming interface being configured to intercept a request for routing information from an originating node within said traffic; said incoming interface being further configured to send a response to said request directing said originating node to send a short message service (SMS) message or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message associated with said request to a spam-filter; said spam-filter being configured to receive said SMS message or MMS message and to determine whether said SMS message or MMS message constitutes an unwanted message; and an outgoing interface configured to invoke an action to manage said SMS message or MMS message based on results of said spam-filter determining whether said SMS message or MMS message constitutes an unwanted message. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
