How to spoof text messages?

In this article we will talk about SMS spoofing. SMS means "Short messaging service" and is the protocol cell phones use to send text messages to eachother. In other words SMS is your technical name for text messaging. To spoof means to appear from somewhere or someone else than the original and true number so basically by spoofing a SMS message the receiver of it will not know it is from you and basically you can make it appear to come from any number you want. Use your imagination with this one because it is quite fun. The real problem is that they usually cannot respond to your message as most of the SMS spoofing services are offered online. If you want them to be able to respond I would suggest using a fake email to send them a SMS message and then they can respond and you can talk back and forth with the cell phone you are sending messages to.


How to spoof text messages?

• SMS Spoofing occurs when a sender manipulates address information. Often it is done in order to impersonate a user that has roamed onto a foreign network and is submitting messages to the home network. Frequently, these messages are addressed to destinations outside the home network – with the home SMSC essentially being “hijacked” to send messages into other networks.

The impact of this activity is threefold:

• The home network can incur termination charges caused by the delivery of these messages to interconnect partners. This is a quantifiable revenue leakage.

• These messages can be of concern to interconnect partners. Their customers may complain about being spammed, or the content of the messages may be politically sensitive. Interconnect partners may threaten to cut off the home network unless a remedy is implemented. Home subscribers will be unable to send messages into these networks.

• While fraudsters normally used spoofed-identities to send messages, there is a risk that these identities may match those of real home subscribers. The risk therefore emerges, that genuine subscribers may be billed for roaming messages they did not send. If this situation occurs, the integrity of the home operator’s billing process may be compromised, with potentially huge impact on the brand. This is a major churn risk.

The legitimate use cases for SMS spoofing include:

• A sender transmits an SMS message from an online computer network for lower more competitive pricing, and for the ease of data entry from a full size console. They must spoof their own number in order to properly identify themselves.

• A sender does not have a mobile phone, and they need to send an SMS from a number that they have provided the receiver in advance as a means to activate an account.

• An SMS Spoofing attack is often first detected by an increase in the number of SMS errors encountered during a bill-run. These errors are caused by the spoofed subscriber identities. Operators can respond by blocking different source addresses in their Gateway-MSCs, but fraudsters can change addresses easily to by-pass these measures. If fraudsters move to using source addresses at a major interconnect partner, it may become unfeasible to block these addresses, due to the potential impact on normal interconnect services.

How do you send a SMS to a phone number you are asking. Well it is pretty simple actually. It all depends on their provider. This requires you to know their cell phone provider.

By doing this they can respond to the message sent and you can have a conversation. Below are listed the different providers services you would send the message to.
