Garbled Text Messages on Smart 4G Hub

[MuppetBunsen]

I've received nine identical garbled text messages on my Smart 4G hub today, as shown below. Always the same 4 lines of gobbledygoolk. Does anyone know what these are? Has anyone else had the same (or similar)? Thanks in advance .

Hello @MuppetBunsen. 

Does your Smart Hub continue working as it should after getting these messages?

Hi @Katie_B 

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply to my query. The short answer is, I'm not quite sure as it's new to me. BT advised me to have an EE Smart Hub at the end of my 2 yr BT contract (16th March), sent it to me and told me to set it up and test it. It's not had any more 'text messages' after that splurge on 14th March, Strangely enought all 9 were messages were supposedly sent at the time (at least they al hade the same time-stamp). For the last two days the Aqua light has been showing uninterrupted.

Thanks. M.B.

Who or what no. is given as the sender?

Mobile routers can receive ordinary SMS texts but not MMS (Picture Msgs). It's quite likely someone has sent you an MMS & it will come out as gobbledegook.
