[BC] Cingular Wireless

[JYRussell@academicplanet.com]

Yeah... I've been receiving text gobbledy gook and random Spanish
tranxmissions on mine at off and on for a few weeks now.

   I don't send anything out on it.. and these don't appear to be
mis-dials....
there's no name indicated for the intended receiver, etc.  so I wonder if
they've also started getting a few hacks... which wouldn't help whatever
other problems they've got (like, not sending the call but suddenly sending
the voicemail somebody left because you didn't answer the original call...)

   I guess it costs a pile of bucks to program a network message... (my old
moto phone even has a built in ring just for that... which they never
use...)
