摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for content-based screening of messaging service (MS) messages, such as short message service messages and multimedia message service messages, are disclosed. MS subscribers (402) may provision specific message content screening rules via a web interface. Content-based MS screening functionality may be applied in the core of a communications network, such as at a network signaling node separate from a short message service center (414) or mobile terminal (402).
