that should help some of you

LOl that does make sense

Same thing just happened to me! Getting a dozen texts like "Huh?!??" or "And just what is that supposed to mean??" or "Hahhaha" as replies from numbers I can't identify b/c PIMbackup is in the process of restoring at 2am... awesome. I'm now staying in flight mode whenever I restore =) Am rather suspicious there were so many msgs in 'Outbox' but will check.

You have to put your phone in flight mode when you do PIMBackup. It is a known issue with it. I had the same issue, and it will resend a lot of messages...once when i did it it resent over 500 texts....

Put your phone in flight mode, back up and soft reset, then you can turn the radio back on without it sending out any texts.

same here, sent out texts a 3am, everyone hated it. there was also 2 people which i had sent them 1500 text in a row, just to bust his chops about how thier phone would not be able to take it. They where resent, that was a horrible mess.
