Does anyone know what process or config file could be modified to stop the text being sent? For example, I could update with no SIM inserted, modify the file, then insert the SIM safe in the knowledge that my details won't be sent.
) but you can try replacing /usr/bin/cherry with a script that returns 0. It appears to be the process instigating the SMSes sent to Nokia, looking at the list of numbers contained in it and the references to the SMS D-Bus Service.

This will be covered in a blog article I am about to write. Details like the ones qwerty12 posted will be very helpful.

nokia makes _your_ phone send _private_ information (yes, your phone number _is_ private information) without your consent and on top of that makes you pay for it.
it's not only a breach of privacy, but at least in germany, and probably the rest of the eu as well, illegal.
and due to the usual incompentent package creation, you can't even simply uninstall that crap!
btw: according to
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/34cherry
that thing tries it sneaky stuff only, when there's no file
/home/user/.cherry_state
thus, one could either create that file
touch /home/user/.cherry_state
or disable/remove the script
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/34cherry

That should stop the SMS from going out, shouldn't it?
Unless, of course, it is eagerly awaiting me putting the SIM back in....

I made my Update OTA, at the point where I've been asked about this subscribtion I carefully read the terms of privacy, after that there's only a "continue" button, no apply or deny, and the update continues. After updating successfully I got the SMS....
What's really annoying, is that - beside of the eventually costs - it seems that there is no way to NOT receive that message (beside it would be blocked by operator, but this does not mean it is not sent to you). After the first use of the handset after upgrading there wil be an SMS sent to Nokia automatically (!) which contains your phonenumber, serialnumber and identificationnumber
This means that Nokia in any case knows your number(s) and is able to use (abuse) it.
BTW - if you read the terms of policy again you'll find that passus, that the SMS' costs come up to standard.
