Recipients getting strange number?

I just signed up for VZW and ported my number from Tmobile. Now sometimes all the sudden people I text report that from their point of view, the sender's number was something crazy like +120837598139485. They cant respond to it, and only once they figure out it's me do they go into their address books and start responding using my actual phone number. They can send to me just fine, and sometimes when I reply it looks like it came from the right number. But other times they get this. One of them uses Tmo and the other is another VZW customer, and they both get the same result at times.
So what gives? Anyone ever heard of sending txt messages from a totally random number bug like this?

It is a known issue.  The phone is sending out the SIM card number.  See this link for instructions on where to look in the settings.

  • Call drop while talking long distance and strange number in log

    Talking to relative in NY, call dropped with no dial tone after that.  Unplugged all phones, checked the connection box.  Dial tone came back after about 15 minutes.  Checking the digital phone log revealed that {edited for privacy}was listed as being called 7 times during the time of no dial tone.  Looking at the log again showed that {edited for privacy} was called eight times yesterday.  About a call a minute to this number.  Have no idea what this number is.  It seems that everytime the calls are dropped, this is the number in the log.  What is happening? 

    The alarm system checks out OK, strange number was just the system making the regular 28 day call.  Calls are still dropping, mostly after talking for a long time.  Can call the number back immediately and get connected.  Dial tone is not missing for these latest incidents, althought it was missing once in the past.   Also have an answering machine that  clicks at random as if someone is picking up a phone.  Answering machine is set to 4 rings and digial voice answering is set to 6 rings.  The whole system worked fine when installed, now is a constant problem.  Going to start disconnecting things and probably run a wire from the box directly to one phone.  Is there a tracer that can be hooked up to monitor the line?

  • SSRS how to get for number of months

    Hi All;
    below is my SSRS expression 
    =Cdate(Format(Cdate(Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,4,2) & "/" & Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,1,2) & "/" & Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,7,4)),"MMMM yyyy"))
    which gives me the month in MMMM yyyy format in Jan 2014, Feb 2014, Mar 2014... so on
    i need to remove a average of a month 
    i.e Months value/No of months
    I do i get number of months dynamically in SSRS
    Any help much appreciated
    Thanks
    Pradnya07

    Hi Pradnya07,
    In your scenario, it seems that the createdon is a string data type field with this format: 15/09/2014.
    If we want to get the number of the month in the createdon field, we can directly use the expression below:
    =cint(Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,4,2))
    If you also need to get the average data for a month like ‘Months value/No of months’, please refer to the following expression:
    = Fields!Amount.Value /cint(Mid(Fields!createdon.Value,4,2))
    If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
    Thanks,

  • I have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    Do you possibly mean the contacts have been merged?
    If so, where are each of you syncing contacts?  A supported application on the computer? iCloud or another cloud service? An Exchange server?
    WIthout details, it's difficult to offer specific resolutions.

  • How can you get your number back on the iphne

    I'm tryna get my number to my phne instead of my icloud email

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • How to get row number in the fetch row itself in Sql Query ?

    Hi,
    i am fetching some rows from a sql query . Is there any way to get row number as well in each row while all rows are fetched ?
    like this :
    RowNum data1 data2
    1 abc ere
    2 bnh ioi

    Hello
    Ofcourse you can get the rownum inside a query, just keep in mind that the rownum is the number of order in which the records were fetched from the table, so if you do an order by, the rownum will not be sequential, unless you query the information in a subquery first.
    SELECT rown, col1, col1
    FROM table
    Or
    SELECT rownum, col1, col2
    FROM (SELECT col_1, col_2 FROM table ORDER BY col1)

  • How  do i get my number files on my iPad from my iMac computer?

    How do I now get my Number 09 files up on my ipad so the will sync in the  cloud?

    If you are running OSX 10.5.7 you cannot use iCloud on your Mac since one of the requirements is that the Mac needs to be running Lion. However, if you are really running 10.5.7 - you can't sync the iPad either since the minimum for that is 10.5.8.
    I will assume that your tagline is incorrect and you can at least sync the iPad with your Mac. And .... you need to have Numbers installed on the iPad so I will assume that you have that installed as well.
    The text below is copied from the kb article below.
    iWorks for iOS: About iTunes File Sharing
    Copying Numbers files from your computer to the iPad using iOS file sharing (Title changed for Numbers)
    Connect your iOS device to your computer using the included Dock Connector to USB cable.
    Open iTunes on your computer.
    Select your iOS device from the Devices section on the left side of iTunes.
    Click the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
    Note: If you do not see the File Sharing section shown in the image below, your iOS device does not have any apps installed which support File Sharing, such as the iWork for iOS apps.
    Under the File Sharing section, you should find a list of apps currently installed on your iOS device that use File Sharing (such as Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for iOS). Select an app to view a list of the files associated with that app on your iOS device.
    You can drag and drop files into the Documents list to send them to the app on your iOS device. You can also click the Add button, locate the file or files you want to send from your computer, and then click the Choose. The files you select will be copied to the app on your iOS device immediately. Select only files that are supported by the iOS app. Once you’ve copied your file(s) to your iOS device from within iTunes, open Keynote, Pages, or Numbers on your iOS device.
    Navigate to the Document Manager screen
    Tap the plus icon in the upper-left corner, and then tap the iTunes icon:
    This will open the "Copy from iTunes" window:
    Tap the file you want to copy and the document will automatically be added to the Document Manager and open.
    (Any compatible file that you’ve copied to your iOS device using File Sharing will be listed in the "Copy from iTunes" window. If the file is not listed, confirm its file type is compatible with the iWork app.)
    Back to my own words now.... You can sync these documents to iCloud using your iPad as long as you set it up in the iCloud settings. If you make changes to this document on the iPad - it will not sync back to the Mac via iCloud. You can sign into your icloud.com account on the Mac - click on iWorks - click on Numbers - select the file - and download the file to the Mac to work on it again - but you can't upload it again unless you are running 10.7.2 on the Mac. You will have to get the file back onto the iPad via file sharing as described above.

  • I have Office 2011 which includes Word.  Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page.  Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears.  Why?

  • How to get total number of nodes in a JTree?

    Hi,
    I am trying to get total number of nodes in a JTree, and cannot find a way to do it.
    The current getRowCount() method returns the number of rows that are currently being displayed.
    Is there a way to do this or I am missing something?
    thanks,

    How many nodes does this tree have?
    import java.awt.EventQueue;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.event.TreeModelListener;
    import javax.swing.tree.*;
    public class BigTree {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

                    frame.pack();
                    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                    frame.setVisible(true);
    }But for bounded tree model using DefaultMutableTreeNode look at bread/depth/preorder enumeration methods to walk the entire tree. Or look at the source code for those and adapt them to work with the TreeModel interface.

  • How to get the number of days in a month?

    hi all
    is there any way to get the number of days in a given month with a given year? for instance, if year is 2004 and the month is July or February, how can i get the number of days? thanks.

    Gee, I don't know ... Maybe this:
    Calendar cal = Calendar.newInstance();
    cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2004);
    cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.FEBUARY);
    System.out.println("max days in month: " + cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    Do you not bother reading what people have already posted? Read the API docs on the Calendar class.
