Daily Mystery Text Msg at 430pm
 

I get this text message every day between 430pm and 436pm. Telus doesn't know what it is. Any ideas out there?

If you Google the number:

278388918012

You'll see that other people (on various platforms and service providers) have reported getting this message.

I didn't look through all of the Google links but you might find something.

Went thru the google search findings ... not much help there - just a few others with similar messages coming thru. One speculated that it is MSN related but i don't use that on my phone. Another suspected the Telus email app. I did install this shortly after I got my phone but have long since taken it off and done multiple hard resets and even flashed Mighty's 4.8 - but maybe I should investigate that a bit more. Thanks for the google suggestion.

Do you use OZ messaging?

Re: Daily Mystery Text Msg at 430pm
 

kind of looks like it's passing some arguments for some app, maybee it's something to do with pushmail or visual voicemail.. not sure what telus offers.
but... same time every day makes this theory kind of bunk

Re: Daily Mystery Text Msg at 430pm
 

No I don't use OZ - and no picture voice mail or anything like that. At least I know what time it is when I get my afternoon email alert ...

Re: Daily Mystery Text Msg at 430pm
 

I think I may be due to installing an app such as OZ or Seven previously, but now that your not running the app, the phone doesn't know what to do with the notification.

have you tried replying "stop"?

It's from the Telus email app IMO. The same thing happened to me when I installed a Sprint email app. Despite hard resets and not using the program anymore, I would still get texts like the ones in your pic. From what I read, you can try to re-install the email program and delete/deactivate the account or just block the text number. I took option 2 and just blocked the number by logging into my account at sprint.com. I have no idea if Telus offers similar options in your online account though.

hey
are u sure that it is not a test sample u have
when siemens existet i what a beta tester on there phones and i got msg also as test msg

I see this every now and then when customers bring in thier phones. It's a problem with Seven's system. It will sometimes get confused and keep sending alerts to your number even if you have deleted the app or have changed phones. Whats weird is it seems to be random when it hits and will sometimes skip 1 or more replacements before the issue pops up.

Like a recent customer that went from a Treo 755, then to an Instinct, then i think to a centro and the problem didn't hit until the centro had to be replaced due to a broken screen. Usually just reinstalling the program, deleting the account, and then deleting the app fixes it, like previously posted. I hope you get it fixed, it's an annoying problem.

thanks to all ... I've never used Seven - not even sure what it is - but I think I'll reinstall telus email and then delete all my accts to see if that works.

Re: Daily Mystery Text Msg at 430pm
 

SEVEN builds the majority of email clients for carriers here in the US and in many other countries. Some major carriers use them here.. http://www.seven.com/howtoget.united_states.html
..I couldn't find Canada on their website but I have no doubt that they're probably using the same company for Telus Email.
