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.
