My phone bill has outgoing text to 22 every morning. It’s my sons phone and he said he doesn’t know what it is. Any ideas

Wow, Reddit, there is an authoritative technical support site. Did it say what particular website and what spyware? Pegasus? Oddly it appears to be a spyware that only shows up on iPhones using T-Mobile/Sprint. No one ever answered the question as to whether these were SMS texts or iMessages. If they are SMS that is solely within the realm of the cell service provider. If it were happening to me on a Sprint/T-Mobile phone I would keep asking for a supervisor until you got high enough to find someone who knows what they are talking about.

I have seen this on my husband’s bill!! I was getting mad I could figure it out!! I now believe it to be part of covid contact tracing! I got the shot aug 15 and accepting via text then starting aug 15 this same thing shows on my bill!! I can’t explain it for sure since there are no actual out going messages to “22” in text log. And I know for a fact I didn’t send any text at 4am! It’s the only reasoning I can come up with??

I don’t think it’s covid tracing only because I first saw it on the bill in January when my husband was at T Mobile upgrading our phones and it was only on his outgoing texts not mine. Our covid shots were months after that. I didn’t see 22 on my bill until June but only 3x that month. It didn’t show on my husbands again until July 16 and it has been every day early in the morning since then. Mine are 3-6 times a month and it’s later in the morning. I noticed on his a lot of times it’s right when he gets to the gym or to get coffee. I hope someone figures this out.

This is the same problem we have been having for over a year as well . My husband and my phone both have numerous text to 22 on our bill every month . They are also at weird times . Our bill is several hours off on time as we’ll . No one seems to know why this occurs . It has bothered me for a long time because it is such a mystery that sprint /T-Mobile know nothing about.
