Can written evidence sent by mobile phone testify in court?

Legal analysis: Yes, SMS can be used as court evidence, but this kind of electronic data is easy to be tampered with, and it must meet certain formal requirements in order to get rid of the obstacles of authenticity and relevance when it is used as evidence. It is not strong enough to use alone, but there are still some restrictions.

Legal basis: Article 63 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) includes:

(a) Statements of the parties;

(2) Documentary evidence;

(3) Physical evidence;

(4) Audio-visual materials;

(5) Electronic data;

(6) Testimony of witnesses;

(7) Appraisal opinions;

(8) Records of the inquest.

Evidence must be verified before it can be used as a basis for ascertaining facts.
