I am concerned : if my phone was hacked that the hacker could read important SMS messages ( one time password for example). can that happen?
Yes.

I get alot of text messages from some people and my partner would like to be able to intercept those messages so he can have a copy of them on his Wizard. How would he go about doing that?
You want all you SMS messages forwarded to another phone?
think he want to set rules for which ones are forwarded
Your "partner" can't intercept them.. But you can do one of two things..
Either create a program intercepting all incoming SMS'es, always forwarding them to him. You could append the sender phonenumber in the body of the sms or something so he'll know who it is from..
The other thing you could do .. is write a client/server app, so when you get an sms, it's intercepted and posted to a homepage/server you have.. Your partner could have a clientversion which regurarly synchronizes the data from the server and adds them to the cemail.vol file.. making it seem that he ha got the sms aswell..
Another thing again .. you could just make another app which sends the incoming sms as an email to your partner.. Many ways to do this.. but he can not intercept them.. you have to forward them either as an SMS, Email or pure data via a server solution you code/develop...
"Either create a program intercepting all incoming SMS'es, always forwarding them to him. You could append the sender phonenumber in the body of the sms or something so he'll know who it is from.."
he can also make a program which only intercept sms's from a list of phone numbers or where surden texts or char's are present
but the program would need to run all the time and periodicly check for new sms's
i would like a program to reject sms messages or mms messages by phone number like i was able to do with my old phone.

I think I'll just go with the first suggestion. Thanks!
MOD EDIT:
this is obviously illegal.
lets move this discussion to the Q&A section

Hey all. Nearly 2 years have gone by since the last post in this thread and I know technology changes over time. I've done some reading about intercepting SMS/text messages but I was wondering if there are now any other ways to do this.
I want to be able to intercept text messages sent and received from one particular CDMA mobile phone number, or to have them forwarded to me without the person's knowledge. I don't have physical access to this person's phone, but if it helps I do have their ESN/MEID for their device.
I'm not so worried about intercepting phone calls or anything. I can get close enough to the user's phone though to be on the same cell tower as them if needed in order to intercept or have the SMS messages forwarded to me.
Are their any options for making this possible without direct access to this particular device? I understand the idea behind copying the identity of the target phone using a SIM card, but again, I don't have physical access to the phone in order to do that. Thanks!

Guys,
Isn't this illegal? You're literally asking to be the NSA or the government, snooping information without the person's information or consent?
Spying on a significant other?
Cheers.
good point. didn't read the last post.
Is there a software somewhere out there which allows a PPC user to password protect SMS and Outlook messages? I get so pissed off at people who touch my phone and immediately start scrolling through messages. Please don't tell me about locking the whole phone because that is not what I am after.
When I was using a symbian I had an application called MumSMS+ and it would hide certain text messages and it was quite handy.
hey theres an application called smsorganiser through which u can hide/export sms etc.. check it out
i think what u want to do is password protect the sms area Eye On Privacy Pocket PC should do it.
i haven't gotten around to install anything yet.
post of u have gotten anything better already
Hi guys ... I have a really silly question .. I have an old Blackberry Curve 8700 which has some very important SMSs in it .. I would like to copy over all the SMS from this Blackberry Curve 8700 into my new HTC Desire Z ... Problem is I dont see any tool for the Blackberry which allows me to export SMS messages .. So my only option is to maybe somehow open up the SMS Database for my Android phone is some editor, and manually plant the SMSs from my blackberry by manually typing them in, and also setting the correct times as to when I received them, or when I sent them out .. There are only like 10-15 messages so I don't mind manually typing them in if I have to, but because they are so important, I have to somehow copy them over ..
Any suggestions ? Is there any tool available for the Androids which allows you to dissect and operate on the SMS database in an Android phone at low level ?
Any other suggestions are welcome too ...
What exactly is a "very important SMS" and why couldn't you simply just record the information in a text file or write it down somewhere? Email it to yourself? Why does it need to be loaded into the SMS database of another device? Why must it remain an SMS?
I hope that's not prying, but I just can't seem to understand why it would need to be kept in "sms format"

Its actually a business related thing .. I have talks with clients and its very important you have a complete chronological record of all discussions in your phone .. So I would really prefer to copy them over if I can as this would make my life a lot easier later when referring to these conversations ..
By SQlite you can edit a sqlite file and put it back into
take pictures with your new phone of all the SMSes.
Use SMS Faker. It let's you put fake text messages on your phone at any time. To and from.

I'm not trying to be rude, really, but you need to use spell check or something because your spelling & grammar create an impression that makes you seem child-like & lazy, and in turn could turn some people away. I know I reached for the back button before I even finished reading. Just something to think about.
I'm pretty sure there's not a way to do what you're asking. You could do the opposite, use handcent or chomp as your main messaging app and blacklist the conversation. Do note that this will make all communication with that number invisible in the app & you will not receive notifications (you will from the stock sms app unless you turn them off) until you take them off of the blacklist.
An easier solution: don't delete your text messages. If you feel like you have to, make a plan to delete only every day or two (or however long you prefer) and do a backup prior. I hope you realize that text messages use very little space & there's no real reason to delete them immediately unless you're trying to hide them. Just think before you act... and problem solved.
Hi,
I want to lock down a phone, so that:
- i have control over which applications can do data traffic
- which numbers can be called
- who can call
the first part's easy, root and afwall+ and that is that.
The part that right now has me stumped is the rest, I'd like to set something up so that only contacts from the address book can be called, and calls without caller ID get rejected. Also, no international calls at all.
I do not want to rely on "call barring" or the likes, that requires the numbers that are allowed to actually be on the sim card, which means I don't have the ability to add numbers to the list without having the phone in my hands... I was thinking I could use davdroid and an account on my nextcloud, then edit the contacts on the cloud web ui.
Is there a way to do it? The hardware in question is most likely going to be an older samsung. It can have lineageOS or stock samsung android installed, whatever is needed.
Cheers
