SMS security

SMS communications are inappropriate for confidential transactions because they can be accessed by anybody who gets hold of the phone. If you are worried about security you may want to consider using software such as CryptoSMS or SMS007 which are commercial SMS encryption tools which can be installed on your phone. Unfortunately CryptoSMS seems only to work on new 3G phones and is challenging to use so you should not install it unless you have very serious security concerns.
