In principle I like the idea of SMS syncing. It assures me of having my SMS messages should I ever need to go back and get them, especially if I have changed devices or I'm using multiple devices.
The challenge though comes in that the vast majority of my SMS traffic is personal in nature - to my wife, kids, etc - with very little being corporate in nature. Yet I sync to a corporate Exchange server. Do I really want that on a corporate server or worse, can the corporation look at the content of my SMS messages and potentially impact my work status? It's unlikely but it's possible in a worst case scenario.
Couple this with retention laws in many countries. Do private SMS messages that are sync'ed to a corporate server become subject to such laws?
It's sticky for sure....
