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.
Another OP3T TMobile user, in Washington DC. I have been receiving these exact same text messages since early July.
From following numbers:
909
5116
5125
5126
5127
5128
5129
Rry, not 5116. That was TMobile text for the phone call I made to customer service about these unwanted messages.
I am also getting these message on my OnePlus 3.
One thing I noticed, messages stopped coming after I switched to native SME application. It has been more than 5 hours no new SMS.
Today has been the worst in a while but this has been going on a long time. It's frankly getting ridiculous
I still haven't gotten one of these since July 23 (knock wood). I wonder what makes them so inconsistent across users.
Since I wiped my phone in June, I've been using the native SMS app ,and have still gotten the messages ,fwiw.
Thank you to everyone who has replied back with the number they're receiving these messages from. They're coming from the following numbers:
- 909
- 5125
- 5126
- 5127
- 5128
- 5129
These are not T-Mobile short codes which means we're not sending these messages to users. It primarily sounds like this is happening on the OP3 and OP3t and in that case, my recommendation is to reach out directly to OnePlus: https://www.oneplus.com/support . If you've already done so, please let us know how the conversation went.
I just contacted OnePlus after receiving your message. They said that they are not sending the messages either. They recommended I wipe the system's cache and see if the problem persists. I will report back in 2 days to let you all know if I received any more messages.
These are also showing up on a line with an Essential PH-1. These are not OnePlus only. I would guess that some company has a system inadvertently spamming a bunch of users from an old contact list (I've had this ph# for a couple years now before this started up - have also had the line on a PH-1 since November of last year - only started receiving these messages in July).
I can confirm for me:
1. It's not Ting-related (never had an interaction with them in the past)
2. It's not OnePlus related (never had an OP phone)
3. It's not WiFi Calling related
4. It's not related to the software I'm running on my phone (it survived a factory reset with absolutely no apps installed yet)
Even if T-Mobile is not responsible for these messages, they should track down and identify the company who is and request that they stop. It doesn't seem to be malicious spam - it's probably just some bug in some back-end system somewhere sending out these messages.
