BullCity11, 

 

We know how important it is for your billing to be correct. When you see all nines in the number for a call or text history, this is because the number could not be captured. It is possible that it was a shortcode, or a text from a longer string of numbers than is captured in a 10-digit mobile number. Sometimes automated text messages come from longer numbers because they are being sent through a computer, rather than a phone. Does that make sense?

It appears that, if the 999-999-9999 text was sent from a phone on your account, it was most likely to an email address which, is why Verizon couldn't pick up the number

I can understand the concern with receiving a text or call from this number CJH1. We can help with an explanation. How did this number show up? What message was attached to it? What phone do you have?

We are experiencing the exact same thing where we've got the family Verizon app.

It’s not I promise. It shows that I. Text that 999 999 999 number when I am asleep so it’s something odd with Verizon.

. It’s not another woman. I know no one else uses my phone ever.   Rest easy

I appreciate you clarifying that information. Are you seeing the message in your history on the device? Do you have any subscription services enabled for text alerts? AlbertoR_VZW

If you have text alerts (incoming texts) set on your phone that you receive on a regular basis from a 5 or 6 digit number, if you reply does it show as an outgoing 999 number?

What other circumstances would an Outgoing Text be displayed as a 999 number instead of showing the real number?

I would appreciate a Specific Answer as many people have been asking Verizon these same questions.

I had the same question and then I did a test. I sent myself a picture message from husbands phone to my email and it showed up as 999-99-9999 so it is when they send a message to an email address that this shows up. It's also shows as being sent from their#@vtext.com hope this helps

Let me explain the number description of 999-999-9999. I would be a bit confused as well.
Any unavailable" appears when the telephone number for an unbilled incoming call cannot be captured.
Also, "999-999-9999" appears in My Verizon when the telephone number for an unbilled incoming call cannot be captured.
