This is an inherent flaw with the SMS protocol to start with. It is a problem on all phones not just the iPhone.

FYI, here is the report from security firm AdaptiveMobile
"the iPhone stands alone with this security hole. AdaptiveMobile tested the exploit in the iPhone and compared it to Android, BlackBery, Symbian, and Windows Mobile. All the other platforms remained secure in their treatment of SMS messages."
It is Iphone's own problem
