Im on Verizon. Have the TP.

Why do I keep getting every couple hours text messages from:
118012222269

message:
//BREW:0104f4........ OZMAIL
CL=83221545......

This is happening often enough to be a PITA..

I got these when I first got my TP on Sprint. I believe, from what I can remember, that this is due to the IM program. If you forget to logoff before you shut down the program, it will send those messages to your phone. I think that is the case, and I hope it helps.

no fix..
The issue..
I had an Env2 before I switched to this phone, on the env2, I had gmail set up. Prior to switching I SHOULD have deleted the email account off that phone. For some reason, the info is stored on Verizon, not the phone, because every email I got, I got a BREW txt message.. just very cryptic message.

here is how I finally did fix it.. I had 2 choices, re-enable the env2, and delete the mail account OR the easier one was to just change my gmail pw. That stopped the issue. Hope this helps someone else.

thanks to all that have helped me..
