Hi, this is Naomi, feeling like an engine stall, I may need gasoline! - It caused the delay of update and I appreciate your patience.

 

Actually, I tried to create an Instagram account again for an event where many musician joined the other day, but Instagram said that my phone number has already been used for creating another account.

 

OF COURSE I haven't created my account on Instagram since I had my current phone, so it's very unacceptable if someone could use my phone number. I can't stand if I were forced to be a part of fraud!

 

I have a concern about SMS( a short message function between phone numbers - is it common worldwide?), because messages from others to my phone number were lost, so I often couldn't receive what people sent me.

I'm tired of asking for re-sending them many times.

 

I think that may be caused by the attack to the system of SMS - I wonder SMS may be able to operate without my phone - and personally I feel it was occured by the composer so I think it's ideal that SMS is available on my device only in order not to be pretended by others.

And it's a mystery why I didn't receive the authentication code then, if someone have created an account on Instagram while using my phone number?

 

I have to tell my phone company about my experience.

 

If you have experienced a similar phenomenon, I hope you'll share it with me. I'll let you know if something will turn out!

(postscript on Mar. 25th : after calling)

 

Today, I called the mobile phone company to ask for the explanation whether the function of SMS can operate without my device and the answer was NO.

So I think I should suspect a possibility of hacking for my device, but the company denied it without logic and an operator said that the phenomenon of not receiving SMS hasn't been reported yet.

Could you be convinced with the explanation? I couldn't. So I was about to argue with the operator but I stood.

I think I have to consult with a more professional person. Umm...I was very disappointed. (If you were too, sorry...) I'm tired.

Is there anybody who wasn't able to receive SMS mails like me?
