Strange SMS Hello, Since the 28th March, 2023 (it was almost just after updating to iOS 16.4 - now I have this issue in 16.4.1 too) I've noticed some strange SMS sent from my phone to "80149". It's free of charge in my carrer, happily. But it's strange, that I have not any of this SMS on my phone, so I cannot even verify what's this. I had contacted my carrier to block all of Premium SMS, all paid services and this issue still exists. Well, I've started thinking that it could be a virus, so I did a full reset of my iPhone. Hoping for this to stop, I've been really disappointed - because the issue still occurs. The messages on my billing shows, that most of the time these are sent every 15 minutes, during 6am-10pm - not all the time, but 90%. I've tried to analyse any logs of my iOS, and all that I have found it's because of CommCenter. It seems like this is the source of my issue. I've excluded the virus to be a source, because after a hard reset without restoring the device from backup - the issue still exists. Have I to be worried about the security of my device, does anyone have such issue? I did not changed the way that I am using my phone since March 2022, when I've bought my device. So it would be really a surprise for it to be a virus, but.... I did almost everything to make sure it isn't. My device runs well, the battery health is 90% after a year, so for iPhone SE it's a good condition - and this issue started to occur after updating to iOS 16.4.

iMessage SMS spam everyday - no phone number to block Does anybody else keep getting spam SMS gambling/casino messages everyday? Usually there is no phone number just a name (with no option to block/mark as spam on iPhone as the screen with the block option has no number/ name ), I am literally reporting them to 7726 everyday but feel like I’m wasting my time! Doing some research the IDENTICAL messages and senders names seem to originate from these sms generator sites receive-smss.com, etc These sites allow spammers and phishers to hide their true id (the sms messages are not legit marketing messages from casinos as the sms has links take you to some dodgy fake casino websites, which is their aim). PLEASE CAN IPHONE INTRODUCE A FEATURE TO BLOCK THESE ANONYMOUS MESSAGES WITH NO NUMBER?!
