We have read and heard about the inherent vulnerability in Android 2.2 upwards, that allows one to access nearly everything on a vulnerable phone.
Two apps have been built just to cover your back, in an era where snooping and data bleach are the trends these two checkers give you guidance.
The good news is patches have already been sent more so the vulnerability affects mainly android 2.0 to 4.0, as version 4.1 have a basic security mechanism that prevents exploitation, thus it hasn't been wildly exploited. However this should not be taken for face value since your neighbor, ISP, x, government or they, can use it to there advantage.
The bad news is the slow patches being sent to you are not complete,that is they only cover a fraction of the exploitable service.
The best solution is to change the default messaging app and disable previewing of videos received via MMS.
