Strange sms. What do you think?

"//voice check"

I've gotten the message above occasionally for the last three hours. If i respond, I get my own response back to me. And it says it comes from my phone number.
Sprint issue or a prank?
My texts are working fine from my contacts.

Thanks

Sprint has ben having problems with sms today

It is from google voice. Google voice has taken over my E3D...no matter what I do it intercepts ALL txt messages and they only show up in Voice. Same with voicemail. I uninstalled voice...then I was getting nothing. Once you install it....it simply takes over......

When you install Voice, it gives you the option to allow it to integrate with your Sprint number, taking over all functions except MMS. Go to your voice web page, "Settings", "Voice Settings", "Disable" voice from your Sprint number.

I looked all around my phone and didn't find Google voice. Only voice dialer which came with the phone and I haven't used it but to test it. I texted my phone from wife's phone and it came through. My brother sent me a couple and they were fine as well.

Did I miss calls/texts earlier ya think? is this only a problem when receiving texts from sprint customers?

Thanks

Did you dial *2? I get this text whenever I dial *2 the phone runs a diagnosis test.

That message is just a test message from sprint. If you go to sprint zone and go to diagnostics and click on phone/voice, it will send that exact same text message.

yea like lopezzito said, that's an automated text message you receive when you dial *2 from your phone

My daughter complained about SMS/Texts today. I didn't know what she was talking about until I read this forum. I use GV and have it fully integrated and love using it as a one stop shop for my communication.
