I know the chances are pretty low that someone else will actually send a command to my n900, but they still exist. And i wouldn't be overly happy to expose my current location or a picture of myself/surrounding to someone that is pinging my phone.

Or did i somehow miss the point and my n900 only returns requests to a certain predefined number? Meaning that anybody (like 12345) can send a command, but the reply always goes to my defined number (i.e. 7890)...
No, it will send the reply to the cellphone it's send from. You can adjust the commands to any encrypted word/message, example: '7139035Location' or '85Whats12my67Location93' (for GPS location).

Nobody will ever gues this (possibilities are almost unlimited) and if choosen right nobody will 'hack' your phone...
