SMS Junkie

MoFirst Solutions has recently announced the launch of “SMS Junkie”;  a native SMS Spam guard application which can effectively filter all incoming unwanted text messages based on your choice without producing any interference with your existing phone functionality. This is a unique tool that helps you keep your SMS Inbox clean and free from unsolicited text messages. The application runs seamlessly in background without interrupting any other phone functionality. “SMS Junkie is an advanced application showcasing the ability of MoFirst in delivering quality solutions based on the symbian platform” said Sudhir Bangarambandi, Head Application Development at MoFirst.

“The continued rapid growth of mobile messaging has created an environment that is ripe for abuse by attackers, and the situation will undoubtedly worsen for both operators and their customers if steps are not taken to address messaging security” said Rakesh Deshmukh, CEO of MoFirst Solutions. “There is a growing need for solutions that will not only protect customers from messaging threats, but also relieve the cost and infrastructure burden that mobile spam volume is placing on operator networks.”
