Adventures with Imate Suite

This is another chapter in the adventures of the new Imate Jasjam (hermes), today i registed for online billing so i can check my phone bills via the Next G connection. Whilst exploring the bill i came across 3 SMSs sent to a phone number in the UK, only problem is i dont know anyone in the UK. i did a google on the number (+447736592312) only to discover a few forum postings from people who had the same issue with the Imate Jasjam bought from Telstra in Australia. The phone came with some software that when i got home the day i got it quickly removed and replaced with different software (things like the games etc) one thing i removed was the Imate Suite which allows people to backup the device on the Imate website. As it turns out it was the Imate Suite that sent the 3 suspect text messages without me knowing, had i not have checked my bill i wouldnt not have seen the charges. Just shows how well telcos check the software they distribute and remember to always check your bill.
