1. A system for managing internet activity of a mobile device, the system comprising:
- a proxy communicatively coupled to transmit and receive data information to and from the mobile device, and operable to mediate communication between the mobile device and a network, the proxy server to receive a request for content to be displayed on the mobile device via a wireless communication network, and wherein the request is addressed to a server having access to the content, and wherein the request is sent by an application on the mobile device via the wireless communications network and the proxy receives a user profile of a user using the application;
a carrier server operable to log user activity, and allow or disallow the mobile device access to the communication network; and
a mobile device server operable to control user access to content based on message content within communication to and from the mobile device, the mobile device server to determine whether content associated with the request is allowable based on at least in part the user profile and a preconfigured policy concerning content, and responsive to the determination, and allow the content associated with the request to be downloaded to the application of the mobile device via the wireless communication network if allowed, the mobile device server to not send the content to the mobile device via the wireless communication network if not allowed.
