Rovio are bringing Angry Birds players on Android the option of purchasing the Mighty Eagle and other cool new content in the future using the brand new payment system, Bad Piggy Bank! The Android version of Angry Birds asks for SMS permission because this mobile payment capability has been added in version 1.5.1.
Angry Birds does not use the SMS functionality of the device for any other purpose than Bad Piggy Bank payments.
