it's wierd text because someone tried to sent u ã picture or mms. the phone number is ã general number from ã rogers network .

I got the same thing on a Samsung Instinct.  And only my dad has my number as it is brand new.  Got for in a row - same script as above.  Very odd.  Plus I have free incoming text - so i doubt that its a money grabbing scam by providers.Very strange!  Even more strange is the 3 websites with this discussion about the same number that doesn't exist!

I'm in Montreal, I have a Samsung cell with Virgin, incoming texts are free, and I just got two of those garbled messages. The fake 555 number looked suspicious. I've had my cell for over 5 years this is the first time it happened. Weird. If this is because someone is trying to send a picture why does this 'glitch' give that fake number?

i have lg rumor 2 with virgin and got the same 2 messages today..
what does it mean? i texted back but it said the text had failed

I got 4 text messages of the same sort and i'm with Virgin using a Blackberry 8530. if this costs me anything i'm definately reporting this.

I just got, i think it was five, of these text messages in a row. It looks like it has something to do with virgin mobile because im also with virgin along with a lot of other commenters. O and I have the samsung vice not the rumour 2 if that helps.
