i had a couple of text messages come through " @!$%%%@4" just like that..it was all symbols...
so i called the people sending me the text to ask them what they are sending me and they are sending a reg text in letter format but it will come through in symbols...
Pull your battery and send yourself one... and see if it happens...and I have seen this before it is not BB specific issue..it usually happens when messages are transferred from one carrier to another carrier..some reason the text messages come garbled..rare occurrence but it happens.
