    These things have me curious. Somebody just told me yesterday that they existed (I'm new to smaprtphones) and they got me thinking about the logistics behind them.

    So, say you send a fake text to yourself from your own phone to your phone. Are these things traceable? Like, will they show up in your phone records? If the police or whoever access your phone, or a hacker, will they be able to tell that you sent the text to yourself?

    What it you send it to somebody else?

    I guess I'm just wondering what benefits these apps even have in the first place.
