This notion of property of the phone could be manipulated too via properly arranged operators contracts that's not the main point. IMHO, the issue here is that it constitutes an invasion of your personal privacy which, if I am not mistaken, is related to a basic human right. Ref: (sorry, using a French source, but I guess you will recognize easily its origin) Art. XII de la Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l'Homme: "Nul ne sera l'objet d'immixtions arbitraires dans sa vie privée, son domicile ou sa correspondance..." (UNO, december 1948). IANAL etc. of course. And of course, I guess this basic right receive variable treatment in various countries.
