Q: iphone sending without permission sms to unknown number

Hello,

 

I just discovered that my Iphone in the last Month sent about 40 sms to unknown numbers like +447786205094 and 88629. Each of them costed 9€ cents and my carrier cannot explain nor block the sending to these numbers.

 

I discovered that the UK number (+44) is used to activate imessage, in fact it was sent only every time I had the need to reset the phone.

 

But I got NO INFORMATION about 88629. What is the reason of sending such a big amount of information without my leave? Which data is it sending? which service needs such a data transfer via SMS when 3g and wifi are almost always enabled? Why can't i decide if sending (and pay for) these sms?

 

Additional info:

Iphone 4 16gb ios 6.1.3

no video voicemail is active on my number

carrier: FONIC on O2 network in GERMANY

iMessage is active but used maybe twice in the last month, imessage activated only in the last week and sms were sent even before.

facetime turned off but still sms sent to 88629.

 

Many thanks for your help understanding the reasons of such a behaviour.

 

Emanuele
