When my friend texted me a normal message saying maybe... "Hey how are you?" When the text finally got to my phone it was just a bunch of symbols and letters, the letters looked almost German with the dashes on top, and I thought he just hit the FN button but I sent a normal message from a cell phone in my house to my cell phone and it came up in symbols as well... The problem started June 15th and it started out as just about one every 10 texts but now it's like every text has symbols! I don't know what it could be and by the way I've had this phone for about 4-5 months now... Estimated, I don't know when exactly. Please help it might be a virus but I don't have internet and I've never downloaded a ring tone all I do is text and call.

Both my son and daughter have a Rumor 2 with Virgin Mobile service and they have the same problem! (Messages received are random symbols that make no sense) This has to be a Virgin Mobile problem, otherwise I don't see how this could've happened simultaneously. I called VM last night and spoke to a rep and they talked me through a process that reset the phone. It stopped it for a while but then my daughter said it happened once more. Not sure if it fixed the problem yet.
