However, the company assured its customers that their privacy would be protected without violating the legal obligations. The message by the company to its customer also added that as a responsible citizen, we would follow all the local law and regulations those were required by the government authorities.

As per report of the company, Nokia Messaging is a push mail service that aggregates current email account of subscriber on mobile handset. The service almost only put the pages of information available through the internet and directs it to the respective mobile handset.
