Spam Text message from my own number?
I have iphone still on ios 6 and received a text message which says its from myself, by my first and last name which i have in my contacts on the phone. The message had a link to a site, i never clicked the link or anything but since my phone is jailbroken and has this tweak that automatically replies to sms messages when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode, i think the tweak is called autoresponder, and since my phone was in Do Not Disturb mode when i received that text it replied to it. It replied over imessage and then received the exact same message back.
eg;
Me: hi, sorry i'm not available atm.
Sender: hi, sorry i'm not available atm.
so now it seems like i'm just talking to myself over imessage.
i don't know, anyway just wondering if they could see that and now know that the number is real and will they likely keep sending spam.

- Will my message be delivered if sent as text message on iphone? My friend said that she was having phone problems earlier today. My message was being sent as an imessage, but I guess she wasn't receiving everyone of them, just getting the notifications that they were sent to her but she couldn't read them. I then responded to her, but it was sent as a text message this time and i have gotten no response. I'm not as much concerned about her responding or not, I just want to know if she will receive the message.
- Why did I get a text message from an Unknown number? So I have an iPhone 4 and I got a text message from an Unknown Number. Not a number that I don't know, it literally said "Unknown" where the number was supposed to be. There was no text in the message, and I responded with, "Hi, who's this?" and I got one of those error messages in return. What does this mean? How do you even send a text message from a blocked number?
- What should you do when you receive a spam text message? Just received a text message from someone pretending to be DFS about an order I never ordered. The funny thing is when you go into the information on my iPhone; no phone number shows up. I contacted Three Mobile and they say they can't detect what activity goes on; on my phone. They recommended that I just ignore the sender. I've also blocked the sender; because the iPhone allows you to do that.
- Spam Text Messages - What to do? I just got a few text messages from an unknown email address with a link advertising "Badoo." I have no idea who the email address even belongs to. I have an iPhone, so I could tell the sender sent it to multiple numbers. I deleted the conversation before opening the messages or opening the link. What can I do if this continues to happen? If I did open the messages, could my iPhone get a virus? What could happen if anything?
