Wacky text

 For the  entire month of Dec 95% of my text messages are “received” from various odd numbers and all of them end in “0000”… You will see all the odd numbers. They all end with 0000 as the last 4 digits. These numbers are not familiar and want to know what causes this to show up on my bill. Thank you!

ha112, cerianly that's a curious thing to see, and if I had that in my logs I'd have some questions. Typically SMS messages with that four digits, are messages sent to text from an email. Since the messaging logs can't show an entire email address, it results in that odd number. In all likelihood, those texts are being sent from an email or other source than a cellular number.

Sounds like 5 or 6 digit 'short codes' which are generally marketing sales/marketing messages from businesses/banks/credit card companies.  Searching 'short codes' on the internet will get more information and sites for short code lookups to see who might be sending the message.
