MTN has implemented an enhanced software application to block the new cellphone virus called CommWarrior, as well as any future viruses. In partnership with WhiteCell Inc., the messaging software provider, MTN is now able to block the virus message generation thus protecting its subscribers with Bluetooth enabled phones from the virus. For the first time in South Africa, MTN has an anti-virus blocking software solution that demonstrates its innovation and its commitment to excellent customer service delivery. This anti-virus blocking software is called MMSafe, and has been operational in MTN since Monday 13 June 2005, and has proven successful in blocking 100% of messages generated from infected handsets on the MTN network.
