A process of filtering a wireless service provided to at least one wireless device from a wireless network for an individual of a company, the process comprising:
- implementing a filtering server in at least one of a mobile virtual network operator cloud and a mobile network operator implementing the wireless network;
- receiving identification of at least one wireless device in the filtering server from an administrator of a company;
- receiving filtering instructions from the administrator in the filtering server;
- receiving a request in the wireless network for an internet resource from at least one wireless device;
- comparing the request for the internet resource to the filtering instructions with the filtering server to determine whether the request for an internet resource is allowable in view of the filtering instructions or not allowed based on the filtering instructions;
- providing the internet resource to the wireless device with the filtering server if the request for an internet resource is allowable based on the filtering instructions;
- and
- denying the internet resource to the wireless device with the filtering server if the request for an internet resource is not allowed based on the filtering instructions and sending an indication to the at least one wireless device that the request for an internet resource is not allowed,
- wherein the filtering instructions comprise at least one of the following:
- a white list of internet resources, a blacklist of internet resources, and categories of internet resources and a degree of content filtering based on said categories;
- wherein the receiving identification of the at least one wireless device in the filtering server from the administrator comprises receiving company identification information through a webpage generated by the filtering server;
- and

- the filtering server further configured to provide the internet resource to the wireless device if the request for the internet resource is allowable based on the filtering instructions;
- and
- the filtering server further configured to deny the internet resource to the wireless device if the request for the internet resource is not allowed based on the filtering instructions and send an indication to the at least one wireless device that the request for an internet resource is not allowed,
- wherein the filtering server is implemented in at least one of a mobile virtual network operator cloud and a mobile network operator implementing the wireless network;
- wherein the filtering instructions comprises at least one of the following:
- a white list of internet resources, a blacklist of internet resources, categories of internet resources and a degree of content filtering based on said categories;
