    Strange, are those photos actually on your camera roll or photo stream?
    Did you buy your phone new? Never been replaced (warranty/insurance)? All I can think of is you got a refurbished phone (or didn't buy it new) and somehow it restored to an old backup...
    If you backup to iCloud you should be able to get most of your stuff back but that all depends how you've your phone/backup setup.

    Were your text messages ok? Apparently my phone texted quite a few of my contacts.....unknown to me. Random phrases, such as "I am driving". When people called to ask why I was telling them I was driving I checked my sent folder and the messages were in there.....but I didnt send them. They were sent during the day so I didnt sleep text anyone or anything like that and noone else had access to the phone - has anyone else seen this? If it makes a difference Im travelling in the UK at the moment, so its roaming over here. Not sure why that would make it randomly text people though. I dont have any photos on it yet, so not sure if they would be affected too or not. Im a little worried of what it might text and whom!

    Are you sure they're not the standard "reject a call with a msg" texts? See: http://www.gadgetreview.com/2012/09/how-to-use-ios-6-do-not-disturb-and-reject-a-call-with-a-message-features.html
    They shouldn't send randomly, did these people try to call you when they received these texts?
    Only other thing I could find on the web is someone with a jailbroken phone where a virus was responsible for random texts...

    I never knew there was a function like that :o From the call log it seems that one person did call at the same time the messages sent, so that would make sense actually - especially the content of the messages. No idea why it would send to several people randomly though - they arent even near each other in the phonebook. I restarted the phone and Ill find that setting and deactivate it if its on - its never happened before so I wonder if maybe the roaming triggered it. Thanks! Mystery solved hopefully!
