Nonsense error text message from 19008006200 results in auto reply text "STATUS" at a cost of $0.05 each. Often arrive 3 to 12 at a time. Does not need SMS activity to trigger it. If any SMS app is enabled on Droid Turbo , including the native Verizon app, then texts charges are billed every couple days to hours!
No tech recommendation have served me as of yet. Preparing to change phone number (one I've had for 20 years!) or switch to iPhone!!! Neither of which are my preference.
Did factory reset with only restoring contacts through Google. Still the same day 3 new text charges. No credit from Consumer cellular as my "carrier," as the texts register as being sent from the device. ATT tech support declines to help although true network is ATT. Tis texts problem originated back 6 pos ago when I switched from Verizon to Consumer cellular to save over $ 100/ month.i
Deactivated phone x 5 days and reactivated it with same SIM card, since the newly purchased SIM card failed. Text began again same day.
Would appreciate advice of one with experience, as changing phone no or buying new phone is not ideal.
Thanks
Michael
