Hey all,
Some of you may be familiar with the "//wma:4020//" text issue that results from using the Sprint Mobile Email app.... If not, see the bottom of this post for an explination.
About a month ago, I upgraded from a Samsung M520 (which I used the Sprint Mobile Email app on) to a Mogul.
Since then, I have been getting about one "//wma:4020//" text every 2 days. Since there is no Sprint Mobile Email app for the Mogul, how would I fix this issue (according to the solution pasted below)?
Thanks a TON in advance...
Matt!

Solution from another post:
"Ok, don't worry. I think I've isolated this obscure problem. (Sprint
techs take note).
It's actually your own doing and don't become paranoid about spam
texts. This is NOT spam text. It's a problem with Sprint Mobile email
application that comes with most phones. It's actually quite helpful
since it will allow you to get push email (ie instant email or
blackberry like email) straight to your phone. The problem is if you
uninstall the program, or do a hard reset on your phone without
resetting your email information on the server, it will keep sending
the email (push) notification in the form of the 9114 text message
gibberish. Usually this text would get interpreted by the Sprint email
program. I have the Touch and found out through trial an error and
noticing that the texts come at the same time I kept getting emails.
A more decisive fix instead of just blocking the text message sender
is by using the Sprint email program and re-enter your infomation for
your previous email account. If you don't remember just start sending
emails to your various email accounts (allow a few minutes between
each) and wait to see if you get a text from 9114. When you find out
which email it is, you should register with that same account again.
Once you have done that select re-register under the menu. Don't enter
anything after that. It will clear your info off the server and now
you can uninstall the email program AND you will stop getting the
texts.
So in short, don't blame the gmail or yahoo, it's not their fault. The
program is really to blame although it's a symptom of push email which
is nice to have for free."
