Anyone know what these are:

//BREW:01013D82:23110LN sparker02148 99E4PFHQfRaYADqPOv9zrnFuerp3FFgaxA--

They show up occasionally and for the life are aggravating and not sure what it is and how to get them to stop.

Thanks

Have you switched from a basic/feature phone to a smartphone? You may have had an app on your old phone that would auto-start based on receiving those texts. Common ones are VZ Navigator, Backup Assistant, Mobile E-mail. Anything with push notifications.

You may be able to reactivate your old phone temporarily online, remove all apps from it, then put your new one back on.

You should be able to end those with a "stop" reply, even if it's not coming from a short code.

If that fails, Tech Support can kill them for you through an admin tool.

The others that have replied have basically told you, but I'm going to mention one other thing. The BREW message you posted mentions your username of sparker. I'm not sure if the numbers that follow or at least some of them may be a part of a username or not. I'm thinking something like Mobile IM may be where it's coming from. Does that username look familiar to you for any services you use?

Sorry for the late response. sparker with the numbers that follow are from my yahoo chat account. maybe its from mobile IM however I no longer use that since I can download a chat client onto my DX.
