This is AIM AOL Instant Messenger.  They are using AIM on their phone to chat with their friends and stuff thats all. I use it too

Any idea where these come from?

My daughter has received several text from this number. I want to put a stop to it. How do I block this number?

I work for AT&T.  It comes from a messaging client.  Call your service provider and inquire.

thats from AIM, a popular instant message site. I assume its the number they use for a texting client. Nothing to be scared of.

AIM is an instant message program, not a website....dumbtush

the number 111-047-0200 is the number used by aol or aim to your phone and how it shows up on your bill.  You want it stopped quit signing into yahoo, aim etc.  Simply as that.

I talked to ATT and this is the number that shows up for Yahoo Instant Messaging.

stop the call from 1110470200

My daugher receives dozens of texts from this.  where is it coming from?  Why can't we block it.

received numerous texts from this number...

want to know who is this

People, read all the previous posts. The answer is in there several times. When somebody uses an internet program on their phone to send messages, such as AOL AIM, this is how it shows on the bill. Foe example, you tell your kid to stop texting so much. They don't think these messages will show up as charges on the bill, so they start sending the majority of their messages this way.

A good way to check this is to see if the number of text messages they were sending decreased around the same time that this number strted popping up. Kids are not stupid, they just don't always think things through completly.

This number has shown up on my bill mutiple times, does anyone know what it really is?

As soon as I added Smart Limits to my daughter's cell, this strange number has appeared as incoming and outgoing.  There are numerous times it calls and is using up minutes.  I blocked it but it still gets through.  AT&T had no idea what the number is and said it should stop if I block it, but it did not.

wher this number came from

this number have text to my phone

I contacted AT&T about this today. They told me it was email texts through a website called www.company.com.

This number 111-047-0200 appears on a bill but it does not
realy comes up on a phone itself.There is no REAL messages -only record of it.
How very convinent for phone companies !!!
It's a scam!

When you have a 15 year old daughter you don't relax, that number could be ANYONE!

This # appeared after my son's moto q was stolen from picnic table at Cedar Pt. Hope someone is very proud of themselves. My son is deaf and this is his only communication with family and friends. Have not yet found out what this # is though, No help from AT&T except to suspend service.

it shows up on my bill 5/23/09. what is this and why does att do something about it.

I have been getting several text messages on my call details of my ATand T account and i don't know where it is commign from and i do not text message that number

same thing is happening to our plan with my daughter's line.
We had $251 in wap charges for the last bill.  AT&T is
"investigating."  We'll see what happens.

This number appears because a child can log onto AIM.com and instant message.  This is unique, because you do not get charged for internet time, but obviously you do get charged for txt messages.  AT&T has a parent filtering option for 4.99 in which you can limit the number of text msgs your child sends and recieves every month. I just signed up for it.  You can also shut your childs phone off during certain times as well.  Anyways-I hope this help answer any questions.  Parents get the family txt msg plan, you are crazy not to have unlimited txt opt with children or another option have them pay for the plan if they are going to txt.

hundreds received and sent

wow, you people need to relax.  had you called att you would have known that the number is instant messages using AIM.

FYI...
Smart Limit $ 4.99 per month, per line

111-047-0200 <-- AOL Instant Message

I've noticed pages of sent and received text from this number on my teenage daughte's phone. She says she hasn't sent or received any text from that number. They are usually very late at nignt or very early in the morning. This is really weird!!!

My son received pages and pages of incoming and outgoing text messages from this number. He said he has no idea what number this is, and since I know he was with us when some of these text came in, I know this is a bogus number. We are contacting out local congressman about this scam since from all these text, the phone companies wont do anything to stop this scam! Thanks everyone for all your comments!
