Tested on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 on HTC Desire and HTC Desire Z/G2.

When the device receives the activation SMS Prey is activated, but the SMS still shows up in the SMS reader to be seen by the phone user (potentially the thief!) giving warning of Prey's operation.

The message can be seen in Android Messaging and Handcent and they notify the user - presumably because the message is sourced by all apps via the SMS API and is in the database.
