I don't think it has anythin to do with the phone more likely has to do with a glitch in their text messagin system keep in mind these r new markets expect bugs always come to the surface, when cricket first opened in Houston few issues arised such as cid goin down often, qpay not workin correctly with cricket, and these text messages sein repeatly happenin n others. Just call CS and report it so they can put a flag on it, have them refresh the text message part of the system eventually they'll take care of it
