  Hmm? Strange! Not that I get that many SMS messages for 2SV or
information, but the ones I get, always have a 'name' - for example an
airline - or a telephone number.

  Perhaps this no-name problem is US-specific? (I am in The
Netherlands.)

  But indeed, also for our pharmacy, it's a number, but it's always the
same number, so no problem. If I could be bothered, I could put the
number in my Contacts list. Problem solved.
