I have been getting SMS messages that look like this...

"Kaori Fujita|=?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCIUklSiVeIUkbKEI=?=|$B""" (B $B"""!!"!"!"!=w;R9;@81o9;7G<(HD"!"!"! (B $B""!! (Bhttp://vlzh.com/?e77 $B!# (Bo"

Anyone know what's up with that on NEXTEL? I have gotten at least 20 in the past 24 hours...

"=? shift-jis? B? ZXJpa28 =? =|=?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCJF4kQCQzJHMkSiRLJS0lbCUkGyhC?=|$BLS$b$^$@ @8$($F$J$$;R$N%^%s;R$O!* (B $B40A4L5=$@5%5%s%W%kF"

ETC... Will Nextel credit me? Can I block it or find the source?

It looks like the same crap that cingular customers are getting. except cingular customers can read their messages. Something about you just won a cruise to fiji or something like a weekend in pakistan.
Nextel is pretty good at crediting stuff like that. From what I hear when your bill comes in they can see all numbers that texted you just like your detailed call log. You should have no problem getting this worked out. As for blocking them I do not believe that it can be done. Usuallyt third party texts can only be stopped by replying stop to the same address that sent it.

Good Luck in getting this resolved as for me I am still getting messages about one a day instead of the 10-15 of a week ago.

I wish the 7100i allowed html emails

Good info... Thank you... Only 3 messages today so far...
