I received this text message from Apple: REG-RESP?v=3;r=62836135;n=+39360240637;s=0267797C02FFFFFFFFACB336333308AEFD09C41A5EB4065F0DC15D7192
What does it mean?

Google search suggests that FaceTime registration may use silent SMS messages. If your carrier doesn't support those, you might see legitimate REG-RESP (Registration Response) messages that otherwise wouldn't be shown.
The other possibility is that some scammer is sending these messages.

It didn't come from Apple, the phone number was spoofed.
Most likely a scammer message that came through garbled. Ignore it and delete it.
Hello~ Along with *Kurtosis12* I believe it’s a scam. Click on below…

Thanks for the reply, that number is my phone number so it should be a legitimate message: my provider probably does not support FaceTime silent SMS messages.
