ENEA HELPS LIBERTY COSTA RICA ELIMINATE 99 % OF SMS SPAM IN THREE WEEKS

Liberty Costa Rica has achieved a 99 % reduction in SMS spam within weeks of deploying Enea’ s Adaptive Messaging Firewall, improving compliance and subscriber experience.

L iberty, the largest mobile network operator in Costa Rica, faced a growing challenge that threatened both subscriber trust and regulatory compliance: a surge in SMS spam. Like other operators in the region, Liberty saw an increase in complaints about spam messages – banking scams, delivery scams, giveaway schemes and a steady flow of gambling promotions. There were also signs that Liberty’ s network was used to send spam to US networks, incurring additional costs.

Behind the scenes, the company was keenly aware that regulators across the region had begun taking a tougher stance on messaging abuse. The threat of fines was real and Liberty aimed to address the issue proactively before it escalated. It was obvious that Liberty needed a reliable way to protect subscribers and stay ahead of tightening regulatory expectations, and that it needed to be implemented quickly and efficiently without disrupting operations.
