also gettig texts from this number it is definately a text spam or scam form t mobile itself in seattle. i guess we have to change carriers since no results, want to know how to blok texts since i care to not text at all and yet started getting harrassed with these texts with no messages
I just got my bill last week. All of the mysterious text charges were deleted. I had no extra charges, other than the texts that I actually sent and received. I also have 100 bonus minutes in my account and 3 free ringtones, which is kind of funny. Someone must have thrown those in because they realized the error. I still have blocked messages and will consider unblocking after all of this is over for sure.
I had the same bogus text charges from 206-313-0023 on the bill I received today. The representative did not know what I was talking about. I referred her to the Streamline article. (Thank you very much, Michael R.) She was very nice, but the explanation she gave me, about these messages being duplicates from using another carrier's towers when texting, made no sense to me. I don't send or receive text messages very often and I got these bogus charges on days when I didn't send or get any messages from anyone else. She said the charges were valid. I asked for a manager, who said it was a known issue and reversed the charges immediately. With all the time on hold, this took me half an hour to resolve. Good grief - why do the representatives still resist fixing this problem?
I just spotted 23 text messages on my last T-mobile bill from 206-313-0023. I recall a few incoming text messages that were unwelcomed, but it certainly didn't amount to 23 all coming from 206-313-0023. Clearly some kind of overbilling is occuring. T-mobile said it wasn't any error on their part as I likely signed up for a service on the web that is sending advertisements or what not. Nevertheless, they credited 100% of the text messages on my first call. They were very nice about it saying they would give me a courtesy credit as noted I was a long-term customer with an excellent history. I don't know what kind of demon service is out there texting, but I have resolved the problem by disabling all texting.
