No texts received, but this number keeps showing up in my messages?

I don't know how to describe this. About once a week I'll open my messages (on an iphone if that matters) and this number I don't know will be at the top of my inbox… It's in my area code so I don't think it's spam, but what confuses me is that I DON't GET ANYTHING… I have no messages from them, the number just jumps to the top of my list with nothing there at all…

Does anyone know what's happening? I mean it's easy enough to ignore it, it just really weirds me out

I have no experience of iPhone. But I think this could either be some OS bug or a Malware doing data theft!
I would suggest you to try factory reset. If you don't have any data on the phone that is crucial then just ignore… Or use a call blocker app to block messages from that number; I know you aren't getting any real messages but still just give it a try.

  • IPhone 4 separates texts sent and received into two different conversations? IPhone 4 32gb iOS 5.1.1 BB 4.10.01 Not jailbroken For some reason, my iPhone 4 seems to be separating texts received and sent into two separate conversations ( as if they were from different people, which their not ). I also noticed that is only happening with texts from people who don't have iPhones. Has anybody else had the same issue? If so is there a fix for it?
