For a few weeks now I’ve had the joy of getting “blank” text messages either dated from the future (2012) or the distant past (1969). For the life of me, I could not figure out what was going on. There was not rhyme or reason as to what was happening.
Well, I got one today… and I noticed that it came right after a voice mail came. Intrigued, I again did a bit of research using my personal assistant (Google) and found out a few things.
1)It appears this problem is specifically tied to T-Mobile, not other carrier
2)It only appears to happen on the iPhone – a non T-Mobile supported phone
According to this thread at hackint0sh.org, the problem was due to system improvements made by T-Mobile. Apparently, when attempting to address their Internet connectivity speed, they system engineers changed parameters that disrupted system voice mail notification settings.
I know, it is sad. No one is attempting to contact you from a different time period. For a second I was quite excited to see they quantum barrier to time travel was finally solved. Apparently, that is not that case.
