Mobile spam in an increasing threat that may be addressed using filtering systems like those
employed against email spam. We believe that email filtering techniques require some
adaptation to reach good levels of performance on SMS spam, especially regarding
message representation. In order to test this assumption, we have performed experiments
on SMS filtering using top performing email spam filters on mobile spam messages using a
suitable feature representation, with results supporting our hypothesis.
