Has my iPhone been hacked into by SMS?

About two days ago, I read something about if you get a text message that just has a single space in it and nothing else, it could mean you possibly got hacked into. Here’s the article:http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/article/forbes/1185/how-to-hijack-every-iphone-in-the-world
I got one from my friend and he says he doesn’t remember sending anything like that, so does that mean I got hacked into or did Apple already fix it up?

It is better to ring your phone company to find out. Their engineers can check it for you. Good luck!

    Unless you are still on firmware 3.0 you are safe, apple fixed the security flaw in one of their later updates months ago.

    I am sure that you will have to inadvertently do something with the text to enable this, or everybody would have been doing it.
