The phone needs to be connected over the same wifi for the sms messages to be pushed to the computer.

It wont happen if the phone is not on the same wifi. So the assumption is if both your devices are on the same wifi network, you have ownership of both and can verify. Now if someone steals both, you have bigger problems.

Go ahead and test this after turning off wifi on your iPhone and see if this happens.

No, thats phone calls. SMS relay works no matter what network the units are connected to.
Aha - that's good. Will test that out but that addresses the concern. Thanks.
