Came across this post the other day about a technology developed to intercept text messages from a specified number and then send the text to your handset. This is what company X claims:

We can now install, remotely anywhere in the world onto their mobile phone (providing it is a compatible model) a program which when they receive or send a text, you will at the same time receive the exact same text with the number it is being sent to and received from… This feature is an extremely powerful and covert application that is 100% trace resistant.

However, the company do have a disclaimer on their site which states that the use of such facilities is illegal in the EEC and warns against customer use in this region. Nevertheless, it seems as if data-mining has returned to the (insanely rich) people, no? Bring out the James Bond in you. Lol. Somewhere there is an NSA or Australian government agent lifting an eyebrow.

The blogger would not post the actual website he was referring to… but did mention other sites like

Other interesting discussions on the matter can be found here, here and here. Actually, its pretty scary to see how many people on mobile forums have “wondered” about such technology with follow up questions of how to do it.
