Your SIM Sent a Text Message - Appears on iPhone After Inserting SIM
I get this message pop up every time I put my SIM into my iPhone:
Anyone know what it is and how to piss it off?  |

Its probably the SIM sending an SMS to Optus to say what kind of phone you're using, which would in turn initiate a network-sent Over-the-Air-Configuration message to configure things such as WAP and MMS. I'd probably ignore it  |

Ahh, so that's why if I press cancel, or accept, it doesn't seem to do anything? |

How often do you remove your SIM, and why?, if I may ask. I have not needed remove mine since inserting it.

I often put my SIM into other phones for testing, or use other people's SIM in my iPhone. (i.e: when I unbrick other people's iPhones, I put my Optus SIM in to see if their phone works). Normal people don't need to take the SIM out. |

Yep, I'd say its because the iPhone doesn't suport OTAC messages. Its pretty much a standard on Nokias/Sony Ericssons etc. |

decryption,
I posted this in another thread, but for those who missed it:
It's a Sim back up feature (Optus only?).
You can turn it off, Settings/Phone/SIM Applications/

No problems.
EDIT: let's take it further:
Settings/Phone/SIM Applications/SIM Backup.
On this screen, you'll see 3 options, you want the last one "Deact AUTOBkUp"
For some reason, you may need to select it a few times, it doesn't always deactivate first go.

I was wondering what the Accept/Cancel messages were when I jailbroke my original iphone, back in those days the iPhone didn't tell you the whole "sent an sms" message and just gave you the black screen with Cancel/Accept
I thought it was some random bug caused by the hack :P

G'day,
I just changed to iPhone with an existing SIM and keep getting the same message. Tried using "Deact AutoBkUp" but still getting the message. What am I doing wrong??? Any help appreciated.
