Ok, so... what I did to avoid (or at least try to) user send sms, was to show users a message by the moment they send the sms. Basically, the messagem says that it is aganist the company's rules and they (users) are not suppose to do that. Well.. I think it is gonna decrease the amount of sms which is sent nowadays by them.
Kris, what about incoming calls? It follows the same rules of SMS? am I able to programmatically answer and finish them? Thank you guys.
