It's not secure, but you have a reasonable expectation of privacy using text messages, at least as long as you trust the other person. Not "get away with crimes

  Tend to disagree with this. Recently had the htc touch diamond. Then got a blackberry Storm 2 from the same carrier (telus). Bought the old phone back as a present for a friend that was going to go pay as you go (but you cant). Then my friend tells me hes getting my text messages. Every one of them. So I get the phone back, call telus up and complain. The tech has me enter some number which opens up the config for the phone. And low and behold I have my phone number sitting in the phone. Deleting the number stopped the text messages. So lets think about this for a second. All I have to do to get your text messages is enter your 10 digit number into my old non active phone. I would say security in text messaging is non existant. FYI: Happened christmas of 2009 so it might be fixed but I doubt it.
