That depends, if the message is comign from a SMS short code rather than a normal phone number then the carrier could remove the sender in question from their short code program if they sending out spam or fraudulently signing peopel up for premium services. I'm not saying that they necesicarily will, but they do have that ability.

To my knowledge whitelist phones are normally those branded and sold by the provider, greylist phones would include all unlocked devices ported for other providers and blacklisted devices are usually those reported as stolen or disabled for other reasons (for example if your provider provides a subsidized or free replacement for a phone you claim is broken).

As this Slashdot I guess I shouldn't be surprised that no one RTFA. This was an app written by a BBC journalist for the express purpose of testing how vulnerable the platform was so that he would write a story about it. It was never uploaded onto any app store, he only tested it on one single development phone... his own.

Are you sure about those prices? The USD and AUD are pretty close right now and you can buy every wow product online at blizzards battle.net store. $20 for original wow, $40 for the battle chest (original+first expansion) and $40 for the current expansion. Assuming you wanted to go from not having the game to being current all at once you would need to put out $80 US (which as of this post is equivalent to 87.57 AUD)

Is the blizzard store not available in Australia or something? I can use it seamlessly from Canada with a Canadian credit card. Those prices are nearly half what you're describing. I can understand if its not your cup of tea and you don't want to play,but whats the point of over inflating the cost to such a large degree?
