    You  need to contact your carrier for that information.

    I have the same thing happening to me.  Dozens of texts from 288.256.4782 that never show up on my phone, but show up on my account activity.  Interestingly, they seem to come in pairs (duplicates at the exact same time).

     

    I happened to see this activity online and have blocked the number.  We'll see if that prevents more from happening.  When my bill comes and there are charges related to that number, I will be requesting that AT&T remove them.

     

    (I see that the other responses have been very helpful.... lol)

    I have this on all my phones logs, 3 of my phones are NOT smart phones just older phones, my daughter is the only only one with a iphone.  but anyways we have this phone ALL over our text/data my and it does come in sets twice and then I get charged $2 each time because I do not have a data plan (only my daughter with hers) I'm grandfathered in and pay $20 a month for family unlimited messaging which includes unlimited text, pictures and videos and calling from and to ANY phone.  well reported this to FCC and a lady from AT&T called me and told me I will pay for the data charges each time.  if you google this phone number you get alot of sites complaining about this and ALL AT&T people stating it is using up their data.  they said I was the first to complain about such a thing but NOT true ALOT of people are complaining.  and a few months ago AT&T were sued by the FTC because they were slowing down everyone's data.  Not sure what is going on but really tired of AT&T putting charges on peoples bill.  and the thing is NO ONE ever gets this text from this number but it shows up twice at a time and exactly one hour later I get charged $2 for data.. again because I dont have a smart ph so I'm on a pay per use when accessing the internet. which I DO NOT.  hope it works out better for you,
