I have seen such messages with BlackBerries, trying to send a silent message to some
shortcut phone number, like 73456. Even a SIM can do this via SIM toolkit.
On an OpenBTS demonstration in a place without any commercial coverage two subscribers
started hammering onto my system, frantically trying to send something to the same German
cellphone number. Guess it had to do with the quite expensive cars on the parking lot,
seems two of them panicked and wanted to call for help, assuming that the strange MCC/MNC
could mean being stolen :-)

Thanks! I especially like the "It's designed not too cost anything, if it does
cost
you anything, it will be something your carrier has set up." bit in the answer :-

Hi.
While testing I've got iphone (non-jailbroken) which regularly
attempts
to send following sms to number 447537410247 (uk?):
REG-
REQ?v=3;t=C335D183C5A2FC0E2501543EBCEB8263D55683FB63A2E8CAF98B88
74
D940263F;r=165209558
without asking user for anything.
Is this some sort of Apple's backdoor? Or GCHQ is so bored that
they are
trying to spy on me? :)
Have you guys seen this before?
