111-047-0400

My husband has more than 20 texts sent and from this number 111-048-4000.  He said he doesnt know what it is.  They are all in the AM (ie; 1:34am; 3:20am; etc.)  what is this???
thank you.

My husband keeps getting text messages from this number (111-048-4000) as well and he claims to not know what it is. I asked my wireless provider (cingular) and they said it must be an error in the system.

we have also been getting texts from this number...who is it?

getting a lot of texts from this number....y?
concerned

This number (111-047-0400) appears when you receive or send a message to a YIM (yahoo instant messenger) which is being run on a PC/ Laptop.

lots of this number on my account and cannot figure out why or who?

is there a way to get in touch with the number?

i also had this on my b/f cell phone he denied it..any way to find out who is sending this

is there a way to find out who the texts are coming from?

My daughter also has several text messages from this number!

this number appears several times on my husbands phone bill and he says he does not know who this may be and all the times the number is on the bill is when he is at work

it's when your b/f or husband is messaging someone he doesn't want you to know, it's through yahoo messenger, his phone the other person is on a computer, good luck finding out who it is

Do you all notice that it is your husbands or your boyfriends that are the ones getting these weird numbers?  My boyfriend and I have family plan through ATT and he is getting them too.  I haven't confronted him with it yet but I think it's not a coincidence that all these are husbands or boyfriends.

I am the husband of one of these wives who is very pissed at me. Well, a forum told me to google this number and who calls me popped up first. I just got a new BlackBerry 8310 and loaded some apps into it, now I get this number coming and going thru my phone. Of course she thinks it is a girlfriend. My BlackBerry forum has numerous reports of spam causing it as well. Remember ladies, he is not always guilty!

it's when youre using yahoo messanger as text

This number 1110470400 is associated with Yahoo.  It is almost impossible to find out who is texting.  One way to find out is to log into your husband / b/f's yahoo account.  If you have that info, and change the mobile forwarding number to your cell number.  Then you will get the texts instead of him.  Also this change is not something noticable on their end.  However, if the person on the pc is sending an SMS message directly to the phone number there isn't anything you can do.

My son's phone shows hundreds of texts from 111 area codes including and predominantly this number (111-047-0400). He swears he has no idea who they are coming from. My curiosity got the best of me, so I looked into it. It turns out the 111 area code (which actually doesn't exist) is a mask (so to speak) to hide the true senders' identities, which are tele-marketers (or in this case, text-marketers), scam artists, spammers, phishers and the like. They have somehow gotten a hold of his cell phone number (and I suspect yours as well) and they don't want you knowing who they are so you can't reply and ask them to stop. Most cell phone carriers will remove the charges from your bill if you ask them to, but I've not learned yet how to get the text messages to stop (other than killing all marketers, spammers, scammers, phishers and the like). If anyone has any legal suggestions, I sure would appreciate it.

My husband had tons of these numbers on our ATT bill. I did google the number and it was some girlfriend he was on Yahoo Messenger with while he was at work.  I confronted him and he denied it, but I had to show him the proof (the bill).  Its how I knew he had something to hide.

Thank you all for your comments.  I finally found out what this is!!

You people really need to CALM DOWN - your BFs and husbands aren't necessarily cheating - they are just using features on their phone that came with it.  Yahoo IM, AOL Instant Messenger, and Windows Live Chat are all included in these 111 area code "texts".  

My BF gets bored at work and since he's out in the field he uses the IM on his phone with his friends.  He just didn't know they weren't included in the unlimited text plan we have, so we either need to upgrade our plan or he needs to stay bored and quit hiking up the bill.

But the responses here say a LOT about how much people trust their (supposed) loved ones.
