If id my phone beside me Id give it a ring on private number. Thats the normal thing to do with a number you dont recognise.

The other number was 35386******* and the txt read "" ..


Both numbers seem to be out of service .

Yes this is strange, maybe give o2 a call and ask about it?

I got the same recently over the last couple of days.

Although, at the time I had somewhere around 300 txt's in my inbox and another hundred or so in my sent messages. I deleted a load of them and Havn't had it happen since. (I have no limit on txt storage but once you go over the hundred or so it can get slow scrolling through them )

Sounds like some kind of weird Symbian OS virus (I'm pretty sure this is the OS of the Sony Ericsson Phones) and IDs for text messages aren't that hard to fake either.

Could be some one trying to send you a business card .. but I think the sony ericssons can read nokia business cards... Motorolas cant for sure...

The k750i doesn't run Symbian.

Sounds like a message sent with a feature that your phone doesn't support, but you probably know that yourself, i.e somebody sending an old Nokia OTA picture message to your SE.

Other then that, don't know what it might be...

Ok fair enough was in a sleep deprived haze when I wrote that, and didn't do any research was just taking an uneducated guess :P
