A mate of mine is complaining about what seems to be SMS spam that
he's receiving on his Virgin PAYG mobile.
He's received about 10 of these SMS just this weekend alone.

The SMS come from the number +447939670739 and contain only a date
and time.
A typical SMS message was simply: 08/09 18.36

That mobile phone number belongs to a woman as I just called it.

Your friend might wish to try something similar and asking why she
keeps sending your friend text messages.

The only reason I can think of sending randomly timed messages is to
see when the mobile phone is turned on or off with a delivery receipt.

Poor cow is probably going to get inundated with 'funny' phone calls now.
It was probably not a good idea to publish her full phone number on the
internet. She could be completly innocent here, might just have your mates
number by mistake (typed a number in wrong or somthing).
