I think I found the answer to my problem. I use the email client Seven to push email from my gmail account to my phone, and I guess Seven used an International SMS test during the setup, which is why I see those on my Sprint account. If I keep reflashing, I might look into other email programs that offer push like Emoze. Does anyone else have any other push email suggestions?
Here is the link regarding the Seven International text issue, if anyone is interested.
