Security researchers in Holland have found a way to crash some Nokia mobile phones using a malformed text message.
The pernicious message exploits a bug in the Nokia phone software and, if received, will render some handsets completely unuseable.
Despite the discovery, anti-virus and security experts said that people should not be worried that a new era of SMS vandalism or hand-held viruses was about to strike.
They said that virus writers found it far easier to exploit the weaknesses of PCs and their users to spread computer viruses.
