Can I tell from looking at the text usage on my acct if texts are being sent to a blocked number?

countrygirl13

I blocked a number on a phone on my plan a couple of days ago, and was wondering if there's a way to tell from looking at the text usage, where it lists the numbers that are being texted, if you can see when the blocked number being texted? I saw that some weird numbers were being texted that started in alot of zeros like "000000###" and a couple times where there was messages received by these weird numbers.

The 0's and a 5 or 6 digit number are texts sent to a "short code" (Facebook, Twitter, etc) - or messages sent via Yahoo IM or AIM using Mobile IM. Those will show up as 0032665108 (example - 32665 is FBOOK, 108 is the thread ID, this changes, but the 32665 is the same) or 0000006245 (Yahoo IM).

Texts that begin with 00000 with additional numbers are known as short codes. For example messages I receive from Meijer have a code of 0000634537

Look here, Short Codes for example of some. The leading Zeros are removed.

Thanks for posting the link to short code directory - then the OP can find out where the messages are coming from or going to....

thanks guys.. but the numbers didn't look like that. there were like 6 zeros, then 4 numbers at the end.. and the first message sent OUT was to one of those numbers.. then there was 2 messages recieved not longer after that looked the same, but i believe had one less "0" and one more number at the end that wasn't a "0"

but i was also wondering if texting to a blocked number would show up on the text usage..
