Receiving Strange (flash) SMS

Hi everyone,
Sorry if it is not the proper subcategory to write this but i have a problem and googling did not help me a lot.
I have been receiving strange (flash) SMS in the following format:
+79191842703
1284458220 1 64.
3953609551353
or
+38057593335
1286453254 1 536
650318958895
the first line is the number that sent the SMS. As found in one forum the first other digits are UNIX Timestamp.
I Hard-Resetted my Nokia N82 but still keep receiving such SMSs from time to time.
Is it a Virus? Do these SMSs keep track of my activity? What should i do?
Thank you in advance

Flash SMS?! iPhone hacked???

Dear Apple Community,
I just received something called "Flash SMS" with a weird text in it. Something like "We r u now? m"
I googled this and found out that this was, as I called it before, a flash SMS. Will this mean my iPhone is hacked? It's a totally NOT jailbroken iPhone 4S with iOS 6.0.1.
What I have to do now? Backup, Reset everything and restore from backup?
I'm actually a bit worry about this... :/
It looked like this: (THIS IS A GOOGLE PIC, not my case. I forgot to made a screenshot, I was too worried.)

Omg thanks guys! I thought my iPhone was hacked or something, because some minutes ago a strange person (dialed the wrong number, he told me that) called me. (With a normal phonenumber for my country.) So everthing is fine?

Flash sms

hi friends..
i have some questions about flash sms. i have 2 nokia phones.
one 5610 & 1200 ,
in 5610 there is an option about sending flash sms in my messages menu, and i can easily send flash sms to every one i want. but i wanna know how to send flash sms using other phones like 1200 & etc... for example entring a command line in my smses or other ways to send flash sms with phones that doesn't have a flash sms option in menu ..
thank you for paying attention to me

Hi there
Unfortunately there is no special code/command you can type into a normal phone to make it send as a flash sms.
Flash sms works by sending the sms in a special format over the network and if the receiving phone supports it it will display as expected directly on the standby screen.
Best you get some more 5610's if you plan to use this with your friends

Yahoo im boxes not poping up when receiving or sending messages. Message received indicator flashes in the yahoo tab but no IM box appears. Same feature works with IE. Tried relaxing popup blocker feature with no luck.

When logged into Yahoo, the built in IM box feature never pops up. My contacts lists is shown, my IM received indicator flashes in the Yahoo tab when I receive an IM, but no IM box appears. IM box also doesnt appear if I try to initiate a chat by clicking on a contact name. I tried putting Yahoo in popup exceptions list with no luck. Seems the feature stopped working after the last update. The same feature works fine when using IE so I assume it isnt an antivirus or firewall issue. Use windows 7 & avast antivirus.

I am encountering the same issue.
I am using Windows XP and McAfee antivirus.

Pictures are sent via MMS. Make sure you have MMS enabled. Go to settings/messages and make sure MMS is turned on

Can't receive calls or SMS. Please help.

Since I activated my iPhone last night, I haven't been able to receive calls or SMS. I can make outgoing calls and SMS, but when someone else tries to call my iPhone they go straight to voicemail or I never receive the SMS.
I have been using Wi-Fi so that doesn't block signals like EDGE does correct?
Any suggestions?

Did you port a number over from another mobile provider? If so, it can take up to 24 hours after activation before the port is complete. Usually, when it is complete, you will receive a text message from AT&T notifying you that your phone is now ready to make and receive calls.
You are correct, WiFi use should not prevent incoming calls.

I can't make or receive calls or sms on my iphone 4s!!!! Do something. I have ios 5.0.1 on it. Please release the update or do smth!!

Nope, nothing I can do.
I do not plan to ever release an update either because like everyone else here I am just a user like you.
Apple is not here, does not read these forums or respond to anything posted here.

Hi shineshinebobo,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are not receiving sms messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If you can't send and receive SMS
You will need these to send and receive SMS:
An iPhone
A strong cellular network connection through a cellular network provider
A domestic SMS plan from your cellular provider (You might need an international messaging plan to send SMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information)
A roaming SMS plan when you use a cellular provider's network that is different from your billing cellular provider's network (Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.)
To resolve issues sending and receiving SMS, follow these steps
Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
Make sure that you have a cellular network signal in the status bar of your iPhone. If there's no signal, learn more about troubleshooting no service.
Restart your iPhone.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
If you still can't send or receive SMS, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact who's trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need to use the contact's international code.
If you're using a "Pay as you go" SMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if you're unsure of your SMS plan or the available balance.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process might not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
Contact your carrier to confirm that you're provisioned for sending SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
Contact your carrier to verify there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have subscribed to the student package and I also received a confirmation SMS saying that the amount has been deducted. But when I sign in through creative cloud, it shows that I am still running on a trial version. Why is that?
