How To Stop Your Phone From Sending SMS Text Messages Automatically

At about 3:45pm yesterday, I picked up my Android phone. When I unlocked the phone, the first message I saw on the handset's screen was a notification from Glo which is the network service provider for one of the SIM cards on my phone. (SIM 2).


I noticed that two text messages had been sent from my phone while it was idle to two strange numbers, one of them ending in 045, and the second number, ending in 105.

Later that evening when I logged into my WhatsApp account that was linked to the same Glo number, I received a pop up that a verification code was requested for my account.

Then, I realised that a hacker was attempting to hack into my accounts by intercepting my messages, and automatically sending messages from my phone to his phone lines.


It didn't just stop there. Throughout the rest of that evening till the next day, my Globacom SIM card kept on sending text messages automatically. When it had finished depleting the account balance/airtime on the SIM card and no further message could be sent from that line, it switched over to sending messages from my second line, which is the SIM card on the first slot in my phone (MTN).
