Following up on previous answers, those APIs are currently kept to trusted partners only (Mobile operators, OEMs, well-known brand names, etc). There just weren't enough developers asking for it to be included in WP8.

If you feel like you have a legitimate usecase to intercept incoming communication, please share it on the windows phone developer uservoice suggestion for this topic.

There is Windows.Phone.Networking.NetworkOperators.SmsInterceptor class, but there is a note next to it "This API is not intended to be used directly from your code." so I'm not sure if we can actually use it or not?
