Periodically i see that my phone automatically receives a data MMS message. It then notifies me with:

New Message.
@/p폀 5:+AM
쓼hU| 0
Confirm Now?

When i hit YES, it just boots me to the "desktop" screen and nothing. When i check my inbox there's nothing there. WTH is going on? How can my phone just automatically accept something without asking me? Is it a SKT firmware update or simply Big Brother? Anyone else experienced this? My phone is a Haptic 2 with SKT by the way.

Looks like it might be a firmware update, or maybe the equivalent of a sim update (but obviously they don;t have sim cards here)
