Well ****....I hope apple covers this under warrentee if you get it. What bothers me is that it doesn't say how long to leave your phone off for

Until a patch is released. Turning off the phone only keeps them from using it once it has been hacked.

Apple is set to release a software patch to address a recently described security flaw in the iPhone, the UK network operator 02 has said.
Experts revealed on Thursday that modified SMS messages could result in iPhones being disconnected from the network or hijacked altogether.
Phones incorporating the Windows Mobile and Google Android operating systems are also vulnerable, they said.

Apple today released iPhone OS 3.0.1, addressing an SMS security vulnerability disclosed at yesterday's Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. The release of iPhone OS 3.0.1 has been expected since a spokesperson for UK iPhone carrier O2 claimed earlier today that a fix for the issue would be coming from Apple on Saturday.
