Is it possible to change sms header so that server can't detect the message and it doesn't charge you for that message (then free sms could be possible)?

NOt 100% sure but I don't think you can, your phone number will be sent no matter what you do, there are some web sites offerin free sms though.

BTW Fath No More rocked it's a pitty they all hated each other

I am a 100% sure that this cannot be done. The message header has nothing to do with the identifying of what phone it comes from. SMS messages are sent as data packets (the same as normal conversations and GPRS) and it's the packets that will identify your number.
Only way would be to make your phone identify a different number witch would also enable free conversations and GPRS and you would be stealing from somebody else. (Some sort of SIM cloning or something)

Hey Cyclo do u remember this topic:
http://nokiafree.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10154

It was about sms sending in Alphanumeric format. There was some bug on my sms provider which allowed to send free sms in Alphanumeric format... so could it be that the message header really has to do something with identifying the phone??? Or could you just somehow mess up the header so the server KNOWS from which phone it comes, but it doesn't charge you??
