Last week, French iOS security researcher pod2g revealed a potential security risk with the Apple iPhone’s handling of SMS text messages.
All text messages can be sent with an optional ‘reply to’ telephone number that’s different from the sender’s number.

Vodafone cut the cost of using your phone in Europe with its flat-rate £3-per-day EuroTraveller deal and a few days later Three came up with its own ‘unlimited’ European data roaming.
Yet by the end of the week there were fewer smiles in the mobile industry.
