I am one of these said people that is playing a joke on my friends!!
It is so worth it though. Just to see the looks on there face when they get a text with just "box".
I believe it's a prank. My reasoning is that the article said a small symbol (probably ascii) that looks like a square/rectangle. Your's just looks like 2 brackets put together trying to imitate a symbol. Looks like you need to return a favor by putting a real virus on your friends home PC.

The Starter Of The Thread Didn't Even Say What Numer It Came From.
He Just Said He Got Something Like Looked Like A Box [ ]
I Think He Just Posted It Because He's Bored And Wanted To See How Many People Would Say Something.

If your friend has an iPhone, you could try sending his Number to Mr. Miller or Mr. Mulliner for testing.
I like that that one!Yep...he sent the fake text to himself as well to make it seem legit to me. I'll admit, he had me going for a few minutes.
Nope. No attention whoring going on here. You can delete the whole thread for all I care. I'm generally just here once every few weeks for troubleshooting.
Okay, now that's settled, "When are we going to get MMS?" Please proceed to the appropriate thread.

OP, you might want to change the title of your thread, so people don't come on here all day. Just sayin'.
