Received a blank text but doesn't say who sent it, it just displays a triangle symbol and an @ sign. Any ideas?
 
Same here on orange with 2.2 installed, have the same thing and it saves on the sim card. had it before on 2.1 with different symbols. Mostly happens if i turn the phone off and on again. Thinking it might be from app on phone or service provider??
 
It's to do with when you receive or send a multimedia message apparently. I'm on ORange and get them too, always after sending or receiving a picture message. They can be persistant little buggers though, and may need deleting a few times. Why Orange do this or what the messages mean is beyone me, I presume it's some sort of readback / receipt.

I'm also on Orange, but to be honest I can't say I've ever sent or received a multimedia message.
 
I've read elsewhere that it is related to the voicemail notification on the phone.

This seems to tie up with what I've seen as I don't use MM messages either but do get voicemails from time to time

Yeah think your probably right mate as I do recall getting voicemail that day.
 
Awww......and here was me thinking it was a secret coded love message from my ex.

How disappointing. :p

Just for the record I'm also on Orange with 2.2 and I both send and receive multimedia messages and receive voicemails. Good to have some inkling of what this is but yeah, like the rest of you I just delete it.
