Just a word of warning to all those bluetooth(BT) phone users, pls. remember to switch off the BT function when it's not in use. I've known of cases where people actually sent corrupted sms(es) to other users just to break their phones down. All data installed in the phone will be gone, and users will have to reprgram their phones. Not surprise when people will start to use it to steal the data in the phone.

I had once received a corrupted mms.But how can you send 'corrupted sms' via bt,i think the only thing you can do is to print the sms via bt.

Im not quite sure but by comparing it with corrupted mms i received i think , In a corrupted sms,the contents will be corrupted and you wont be able to read or see the content. You will see a broken letter icon in your inbox rather than the normal letter icon.

That can't be a corrupted sms. It is just that your phone doesn't recognise the chinese fonts. Or Is this what a corrupted sms is?

That might be bcoz your phone has no chinese character support.

how can an sms (which is text only!!) be corrupted in a way powerful enough to break phones?? Does it have a 'corrupting spell' in it??

nope, a broken envelope indicates a partial message. Brokken letter to my knowledge indicates what was posted before: language characters that the phone cannot read.
