Text messages to unkown UK number?

My service provider is charging me for text messages to a UK number (+44 7537410297) that I didn't send. I've searched the internet and found that this number has to do something with activating facetime or iMessage. A few weeks ago I switched off facetime and iMessage but I still get charged for text messages to this phone number. Can someone explain to me why my iphone 4 still sends text messages to this UK number.? Switching off facetime/iMessage should do the trick right?

Do you have access to a phone that still uses that old phone number?

    MMy bill shows text messages from my cell number sent to my number what does that mean

    Jackie, this usually happens when the number that was texting you was blocked or  unavailable.  The billing system uses your own number as sort of a placeholder. It could be another reason, but as far as I know, that's the reason.

    My 3G iPhone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says its sent but it does not arrive. Any ideas?

    Are you seeing this problem when sending a SMS, MMS or iMessage? Does it go away if you disable MMS or iMessage in Settings > Messages?
    Make sure the phone number that you aren't able to send texts to has an area code.
    If that doesn't help, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • I am getting text messages from a "textfree" number that cannot be identified

    I am getting text messages from a "textfree" number that cannot be identified. The text messages are threatening and I am trying to match the unknown number to a person. How can I do that?

    Hello uncl@home,
    Thanks for reaching out to us for assistance with unwanted texts on your device. After all, we're always here to help when you need us. I wanted to touch bases with you to see if the issue has been resolved. Just curious, are you getting unwanted texts from a 10-digit number? If so then you can have the texts blocked at www.vzw.com/spamcontrols. For all other unwanted texts, forwarding them to 7726 is the method to have them addressed. Let me know, just in case more options are needed.
    Thank you...

  • VZW to VZW text messages have call back number in every message after Tango update

    First of all I want to say how much I appreciate VZW rolling out the WP updates in a timely manner for once (is this the first time they've ever done so, for any phone?), even with the outdated technology (or just the one device), and I'm sure it'll keep us WP faithfulls happy for a little while longer. However I do have an issue with the latest update because it seems like VZW has been affected in such a way that now I have a "Call back at xxx-xxx-xxxx" after every text message received from a Verizon customer. At first I thought it was my friends and family telling me to call them back, and I did (to some degree of annoyance caused me and others) and now its just a plain nuisance. Some web perusing resulted in a few others having the same issue and only on verizon so far
    I know who's texting me at any given time because their names are displayed on top and if I want to call them all I have to do is tap the name (and if no name then the number is so displayed), so displaying "call back at" so and so is just unnecessary and only serves to clutter up an otherwise clean nested message history/interface. So my question is there a way to disable this (which I have yet to find) or does VZW know about this error and plan to fix it, hopefully very soon? Or is this an issue with microsoft?

    I found the answer to this problem.  I think it depends on what kind of phone you have, but I was able to turn off the CB# in the messages.  I have a Samsung Stratosphere.  I was able to go into Messaging, then the menu icon, then choose Settings.  Under the settings there was a choice called Callback enabled.  I was able to to uncheck this choice and now my callback number no longer shows up.  Hope this helps everyone!

  • When I receive text messages, it displays phone number instead of contact name.

    I updated to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 over the weekend. Since updating to iOS 5, all of my text messages show up with a phone number listed instead of the contacts name. I checked my contact info and all the contact information is listed and the numbers under the contact are correct. Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you discovered any resolutions?

    Following a tip from another poster, I was able to fix the issue (temporarily).
    This worked for me on Verizon.
    I dialed *228 on my Verizon phone. I pressed "1" to activate it over the air. I then went into task manager and killed all the running apps.. Waited a few minutes.
    The next text I got displayed the number correctly!.. Until I rebooted, that is.
    Ps. PLEASE, call Apple and speak with a senior engineer on this. They can't fix it if they don't know it's a problem! (800) MY-IPHONE

  • C2-03 TEXT MESSAGING INSERTING CONTACT PHONE NUMBE...

    I'm a celphone prepaid loader so I often refer to my phonebook  whenever I send a prepaid  load. In other nokia phone model to paste a contact person's name or phone number in the body of the text message all you need to do is choose "insert name" or "insert number" and I can't seem to find this feature in the c2-03 model. All I can find is "insert symbol" which would only allow you to insert special characters or smileys, whereas  "insert object" would allow you to add attachment.  This is a very important feature as it saves time to just import the information from the phonebook instead of inputting phone number right off the keypad.

    i am facing same problem... is there any another way to insert contacts in messages in c2-02 or c2-03?

  • Cannot send text message to one mobile number

    Recently moved from iphone 4 to iphone 6 and changed the carrier from Tmobile to Verizon, post this change I am not able to send text message to one specific mobile number. The other person can send text to my number. The message sent to this specific phone number from iphone 6 appears green as sent but is not received by the other specific number. I can send messages to all the other friends but not to this specific number. The other person reached to his carrier (Tmobile) and they confirmed that it is not coming in their network after doing the testing from my end. This problem started when moved from Tmobile to verizon.

    Hi,
    This was already checked with the Tmobile carrier and their technicians as test from verizon side. It is not that it is not being received on their network, the issue is it is not being sent out from Verizon network. I have checked in my online account of Verizon with my SMS usage and it shows that no SMS has been sent out to this T-mobile number. I have tried sending SMS 30 - 40 times and there is no record in my online account about the SMS sent out. This means that the SMS is not going out from verizon network to this specific user. I hope I have made myself clear here in terms of issue definition. I have tried all possible options of deleting message thread, deleting contacts at both the sides, resetting network, switching off imessage, Airplane mode on-off, sending SMS by adding 001 to the mobile number etc.
    Kindly help urgently.

  • I can't send text message to a particular number

    Why isn"t my text message being received by a particular number? I have tried typing the number. I used to be able to send messages to this number

    Don't know maybe the issue is with the recipient phone.

  • I cannot reply to a text message from a specific number

    I have an ATT family plan with my daughters. I have an iPhone and they have Blackberrys. If I start a new text message from scratch and send it to one of them they get it. But if I try to reply to a text message they sent me I get an error code asking me to specify a valid 10 digit phone number.

    Hi,
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1291 provides general tips that should resolve the issue.
    On the iPhone, go to Contacts> your daughters contact that you see the issue with> modify the contact and make sure it has a 10 digit contact number.
    Then go to SMS on the iPhone> messages at the top left> Edit> tap the - near the conversation with the problem> Delete.

  • App for separate text messages with one phone number

    Is there an app for iphone that would enable incoming text messages from specific numbers to be diverted to a separate app than the text message app?
    In other words, like a separate inbox that could be kept "hidden" on one's phone but with one number.
    Or instead of having the text message on the phone, a website where messages could be viewed from the phone on line?

    No app that I know of, however text message is a carrier feature - contact your cell phone provider.

  • Text Messages displaying contact phone number instead of name

    How can I change the config so that incomming txt messages will  disply the contact name instead of their number.  For some reason, when I receive a call, the display will indicate the contacts name (this is good), however, with txt messages, it displays their number (would rather have the name).
    So if Jane Doe calles me I can clearly see it's Jane Doe calling
    When the same Jane Doe txt's me, the display reads their phone number

    I had a problem similar to this on other phones, and it had to do with how the number was parsed. When you go into your contacts, is the number the exact same number as the number you receive SMS from? Friends and Family with this issue had it because they either didn't have the area code in front of the contacts number or for some reason, required a 1.
    edit:
    Also, go into your SMS history and long press on the number. It should pop up a wondow to save to existing contact.
