88850100000018 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 88850100000018 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance involving unreadable text messages, primarily received on non-smart (dumb) phones, often displaying "message cannot be displayed." These messages commonly originate from one number and appear linked to picture or multimedia messages sent from smartphones, which older devices cannot process. Users frequently find the messages confusing, intrusive, and potentially linked to spam or scams. Recipients are advised to avoid interacting with the messages or calls from the associated numbers, as some have reported suspicious voicemail prompts mimicking network providers. The phenomenon is particularly noted on Vodafone networks, with some speculation about database sales or automated messaging systems. Blocking the number and monitoring for unusual charges is recommended to prevent potential fraud or overbilling.

Got a spam text a few mornings back around 5:57am, but the message wouldn’t show up. They usually keep quiet for some months, then suddenly start bugging again.

I’ve got an old Nokia handset and got a text from this number saying “message cannot be displayed” along with a message centre number. I checked with a mate who said they sent me a message exactly when I got that one (it was from abroad, outside the UK). No idea why it appeared like that though. Their other texts usually come through fine. Maybe they’re sending some messages in a format that my old phone just can’t handle.

Proper annoying, I get a couple of these each week, a text pops up but it just won’t show properly.

Watch out, that 'picture' might be some sort of malware. I get loads of dodgy ones like this. They come through on the so-called 'action fraud' messages but I never open them. Always double check that both the sender and the email address match someone you actually know.

This isnt a dodgy number, its just someone sending a pic message from their smart phone but your sim is in a basic phone. Your network keeps the image for 28 days, so if you stick your sim into a smart phone before then, you can get the photo.

Got a text I couldn’t open, which might actually be a blessing! Sometimes mates send pics and my phone just won’t load them, so I figured that’s what it was. But then I checked the number and it turns out to be some spam or scam. This is the first time I’ve had any spam come through on my phone!

#88850100000018: MY NOKIA100 KEEPS SAYING "MESSAGE CAN'T BE SHOWN". WHAT'S GOING ON?

Out of nowhere a message popped up on my Nokia 130 right when I checked my phone, felt like they somehow knew I was gonna check it.

Every day I get loads of messages from this person. They come through all scrambled up, probably because I’m using an old Nokia 105. Weirdly, they seem to get past my block list somehow. It’s driving me mad now. Honestly thinking about switching my number because it’s just too annoying and a bit unsettling. No idea how they even got hold of my number, I’ve never shared it with anyone.

Got calls from 88850100000018 claiming to be Craftsy/Blueprint but their messages never show up. I tried reaching out through their contact page but never heard back. I've never dealt with them before, so I guess they must have just grabbed my number from some database.

This number has called me twice more, making it three calls in total now. Really irritating. To the person who mentioned this on 5/6/2018, the "Message Centre" is linked to your Vodafone service. It isn’t connected to the scam caller. Have a look through your other legitimate messages, you’ll see what I mean.

Not sure whats goin on but I got a text on my phone that was total gibberish. When I looked closer, it came from message centre 007785016005. Anyone know what that is? Either way, I'd say be careful and dont answer calls or messages from these weird numbers.

At about 12:38 this afternoon, I got a message saying “can’t display this message,” so, being a bit daft, I called the number back. Then a voice, sounding like it was from Vodafone, told me I didn’t have enough credit. I ended the call and rang Vodafone at 2345 to check - turns out I have plenty of credit. Makes me wonder, is this some sort of scam? The only time I shared my mobile number was yesterday when I tried to log into Facebook on my iPad via SMS, but it didn’t work. Could that be how they grabbed my number?

DPH: Are you certain that the undelivered MMS will be resent? We received a single message before switching the SIM into a device capable of receiving MMS, yet we still haven’t seen the MMS come through again. This particular MMS is crucial for us. We’re unable to identify the number of the sender. Is there any method you’d recommend for retrieving it? Thank you!
