So you want to buy that cheap Chinese phone eh?
Like, for example, the ZTE device?
Better read this first:

"According to its website, Adups provides software to two of the largest cellphone manufacturers in the world, ZTE and Huawei. Both are based in China."
Oops.....
What was it doing? Sending all your text messages and contacts to CHINA every 24 hours.......
And yeah, it was an "accident." So they say.
Now do a bit of research. You will find this isn't the first time that very company has been caught doing this...... There is at least one prior nearly-identical incident (that we know of.)
