As far as I can tell, the SMS app doesnt need the mobileconnection permission. We should remove this as a hardening step if this permission isn't needed.
Really minor change (app owner to confirm that permission is no longer needed and then remove mobileconnection permission from manifest), but only a defence-in-depth, so not urgent. Nominating for koi.

Right, back then we were using it in error handling but now we get the error name from the mobile messaging API instead.
