well, as it turns out, you're hosed, along with hundreds of millions of other people http://blog.zimperium.com/experts-found-a-unicorn-in-the-heart-of-android/  quote:Zimperium zLabs VP of Platform Research and Exploitation, Joshua J. Drake (@jduck), dived into the deepest corners of Android code and discovered what we believe to be the worst Android vulnerabilities discovered to date. These issues in Stagefright code critically expose 95% of Android devices, an estimated 950 million devices. Drake’s research, to be presented at Black Hat USA on August 5 and DEF CON 23 on August 7 found multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities that can be exploited using various methods, the worst of which requires no user-interaction. you might be asking, "how do i protect myself? " short answer: you don't for now. quote:...fixes for these issues require an OTA firmware update for all affected devices. Such updates for Android devices have traditionally taken a long time to reach users. Devices older than 18 months are unlikely to receive an update at all. We hope that members of the Android ecosystem will recognize the severity of these issues and take immediate action. In addition to fixing these individual issues, we hope they will also fix any business processes that prevent or slow the uptake of such fixes.

When I had an Android phone, there was an option to only show you the number of the person trying to send you an mms, before you opted to download it. Can't people just do that?
