tempted to do this to my girlfriend, who i think is cheating on me. she’s got an n95, would have a nervous breakdown without SMS.

i dont know if it is a flaw or a function of the phone co’s service termination system.

i mean that if the phone co wants to they can send the message and shut down the phone .

lets say you violated the terms of service or the phone got lost or stolen then co can send the message and disable the phone.

This is wicked.

wait, if this is triggered by receiving an evil SMS, wouldn’t your operator notice?

You can’t hide caller ID for SMS… so if you cursed someone’s phone, and that person really wanted to know who did it, I guess they could… am I right?

This is kind of unrelated but where can I buy hack-a-day decals like the oneseen in this pic?

in reply to concernedcitizen:

unless there is a way to find a logfile/debug file within symbian, remember that the text message doesnt appear within the inbox, therefore untraceable to the average consumer.

Is the provider still charging you for the incoming texts?

The reason I ask is some people *want* to block all incoming SMS. But I don’t think any American telcos allow you to completely block incoming SMS even if you request it. They claim they “can’t do it” which seems like a bunch of hooey to me.

@sean,

You want gnokii. http://www.gnokii.org/

They have linux & prebuilt windows binaries. All good stuff. The “smssend” you saw above is a script that probably calls gnokii under the covers.

Seems that some engineers will be celebrating the 2009 new years eve at a Nokia office solving this together with some PR folks doing damage control…

Any ideas for a social engineering angle on this that might let me out of my (AU, therefore criminal) phone contract?
