Anybody know how something like that can be done?

A theory that "It wasn’t actually Sherlock who sent the three “Wrong!” texts. It was Moriarty (or an agent of his)."

It is an interesting theory, but personally I disagree with it. I think that Sherlock´s SMS to Lestrade "You know where to find me. SH" comes too quickly after the "Wrong!" messages to the press (and in direct connection with these messages) for it to be a coincidence. Also, "Wrong!" messages are one of the first signs of Sherlock´s cheeky character. Take all these signs away and ascribe them to Moriarty and what would be left of Sherlock´s character? Not much, I presume.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

May I just take a moment to say how much I admire the level of intelligence in this fandom.

Re: How did Sherlock do mobile phone trick?
I think you're right nakahara. But I do like to read all these theories and metas even if I don't agree with them, because the people in this fandom are so clever, like tonnaree says. And always thinking about Sherlock
