Put simply: if you have someone else's phone number, is it possible to make a text message (sms) appear on your phone as if it is from them?

If the answer to that is yes, what would you need? (internet, specific phone etc)

If the answer is yes, how difficult is it?

I'm guessing it's probably possible with a maemo device by doing things to the database in xtermnal. But if you had some other phone?

What I have in mind is the use of text messages as evidence - someone accused of sending inappropriate texts: can that be feigned to get them into trouble? (no, I'm not looking to get someone into trouble - rather out of trouble!)

so... clever peeps? Is this possible?
how familiar are you with python?

what about sqlite?

python way (thanks to frals who made it to work) can be found there:

small modification plus removing those pdu stuff should leave you with strings to put desired info and then just run the code and there you have it.


btw it is called rtcom-eventlogger

e: if you want to do same with other phones, you must send correct pdu-string to the phone and that is all you need (so don't scrap the pdu-stuff then!)
