        abstract = {Over recent years, as the popularity of mobile phone devices has increased, Short Message Service (SMS) has grown into a multi-billion dollars industry. At the same time, reduction in the cost of messaging services has resulted in growth in unsolicited commercial advertisements (spams) being sent to mobile phones. In parts of Asia, up to 30% of text messages were spam in 2012. Lack of real databases for SMS spams, short length of messages and limited features, and their informal language are the factors that may cause the established email filtering algorithms to underperform in their classification. In this project, a database of real SMS Spams from UCI Machine Learning repository is used, and after preprocessing and feature extraction, different machine learning techniques are applied to the database. Finally, the results are compared and the best algorithm for spam filtering for text messaging is introduced. Final simulation results using 10-fold cross validation shows the best classifier in this work reduces the overall error rate of best model in original paper citing this dataset by more than half.},
