Any one else getting "Configuration Notification" messages?
I keep receiving sms messages from short code number with the following text:
Configuration Notification. Your MMS Service Settings have arrived. Open the configuration message and save the settings.
the messages never contain settings or an attachment which I would not have trusted anyways
I have received them from the following short codes: 909, 5129, 5126, 5128, 5127. I'm using a one plus 3t and I have verified I am using the correct messaging settings as per https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
Hola, @djsnd! Thanks for creating a profile and chiming in with your ticket numbers.
From the sounds of it, simply switching the SIM is causing the messages to generate. I only have one user's ticket numbers. If any other users have ticket numbers, please pass them along as this will speed up the resolution time. If you do no have a ticket number, I'd like to send you a PM to collect a few pieces of info so you can be added to the list. Please let me know if you'd like me to PM you.
I have the same phone and am going crazy cos of these messages. I am getting like 20 messages a day! I chatted with the T-Mobile customer care and they said it's got nothing to do with their network. As per them these messages are sent by the phone manufacturer.
I am also getting hammered by these messages for the past few days, and also have a OP3T.
the OP3T is from OnePlus, not HTC.
And unfortunately no, enabling/disabling wifi calling is not stopping the messages.
I've had wifi calling off for several days and still get ~6 of these messages per day from short code 5125, 5127, 5129.
That's correct, not wifi calling related as was suggested. I am still getting these messages from the same numbers after enabling wifi calling for a few days as I had previously had this disabled. I'm not sure what other information would be useful to troubleshoot this.
My wife suggested blocking the number so I did but I also decided to report them as spam. Haven't received a single message since and my service is working perfectly.

I've had a similar issue since July 9th. I turned off texts reporting notifications to reduce the amount of times my phone alerted me. I'm still receiving notifications, just not getting texts anymore. The notifications are "Configuration Notification." T Mobile Tech Dept. has not been able to figure this out. I have an Alcatel Pop4Plus. I have not been traveling. The only activity on the phone before these notifications were sent was my alarm going off that morning. See below for what I'm receiving:
What djsnd is writing makes sense to me. I just replaced my OnePlusTwo with Essential Ph-1. I described how removing a non-T-mobile sim-card from OPT's slot 1 and placing the t-mob sim from slot 2 to slot 1 cured the crazy number of "Configuration Notification" messages problem.
Now, when I placed the same t-mobile sim in the new Essential I got exactly one "Configuration Notification" message almost immediately, but no more messages in just over 24 hours..
I do not have the time/energy to test all possible combinations, but it seems that we are converging on what is going on here.
Hola All,
I wanted to report back that since the week of July 18th I have not received any more of these messages. I did two things that week; The first was to place an FCC spam request and the second was to move my sim card from sim2 to the sim1 position in my OnePlus 3T.
Just now I decided to test this and switched the sim back to sim two and placed back in the phone. Within a minute of doing so I received two config messages. I'm going to leave the sim in the second slot for a day or two and see how many if I receive more of these messages.
Amanda you can pm me, and also tell me where to open a ticket so I can get another one in the queue.
Gracias,
JasonI switch sim locations and I have not received any configuration messages since August 24th.
