Can I configure my phone to reject text messages with attached video? I'm thinking that would protect me from this exploit, plus, as a bonus, I wouldn't get text messages with attached video.
EDIT: I appreciate the replies. I was really wondering if I can disable video attachments without disabling other MMS features such as pictures and long messages (in Android 4.3).
I'm pretty sure you can just turn off MMS retrieval, yeah -- either in your messaging app or the phone's network settings.
The only problem is that many phones automatically turn long SMS messages into a single MMS message. As I understand it, you might not receive those -- although I'm not sure about this.
