My phone keeps sending repeat txt messages

Anonymous
Not applicable

I've recently re-activated a Samsung GT-B2710 (the tough/indestructible one - brilliant when out in the rough). It's all good except that ever since putting in the new SIM it has repeatedly posted spurious texts to my good lady (I think it's a copy of one I first sent back in March 2012 when i last used it). I've tried deleting her contact and have searched all the out and sent boxes but after 4 days it is still bombarding her with txts.

 

Any ideas?

Ha brilliant googled the problem and your the only one who appears:(

Right at this point you seem to have covered your bases.

Do you have the ability to back up? If so do it and then wipe the phone(factory reset)

- To reset and completely erase all data on the device and restore to factory settings type *#7370# on the desk (default lock code is 12345).

If this doesn't stop the txt then we've ruled out software being to blame next step would be to try another sim(unlikely to be at fault) if this has no effect ill have another look around for you. If no luck I reccomend a large hammer:(

Is there any pattern to when the texts are sent? Are they all carbon copies?

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. So Ive been told wink
