My airtel SIM card continues to send imaginary text messages at intervals, sometimes several times within a minute! This drains my airtime and battery.

I don't know how to deal with this bug/problem. CC (surprisingly unskilled) was unable to help resolve this.

Has anyone experience led this dangerous bug, and how did you eliminate it?

OgidiOlu3:
It's most likely an anti-theft app. Does it happen when you've just switched on your phone? You can check if you installed an anti-theft app (and it's likely gonna be in stealth mode so you might not see it in the app drawer) or other antivirus. You can also try putting your sim in another phone to see if the problem is from your sim or phone.

temmyt20:
lemme av ur number, if u cant post it here, just pm me. And, i wil need to kno exactly when d msg was sent last, if u were charged for it, and probably amount b4 and amount after

Sunkyphil:
My sim also does

4Qbitch:


Tried sending u a PM buh it appears I can't do that on Airtel freebasics mode (I stopped recharging d sim because of this issue). I'll send it later wif my alternate sim network.

When d message was sent last? As I type I've had it happen over 8 times! But the first time I ever noticed it, they deducted 15 Naira. In fact it literally drained d credit I had then. So I stopped recharging.

I'm going thro all this headache simply because I get bank SMS notifications on this line, otherwise I would v flushed it down my drain since day one.

4Qbitch:


How often? Does it deduct money from ur balance? If yes how much?

*modified:
-I have no antivirus or anti theft app installed on my fone (iphone)
-I experienced d same problem on putting d airtel sim in another phone (Nokia torch). So it's a SIM issue.

Madam.. its simple your boyfriend or parent is tracking you and your location. So ur sim always sends a message to a particular number. You can call customer care to resolve the issue or just save the sim and get another one.
