Recently in the network there are many messages that people receive on their phones SMS, the date of which is very different from the actual date of receipt. Often these messages come in strange symbols that you cannot make a clear text on any language of the earth.
Since people tend to seek an explanation for incomprehensible phenomena in mystical theories similar to SMS due often contact with people (and himself) from the distant future, or with representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations.
Some examples of discussions of such phenomena in online forums: one, two, three.
Well, actually the reason of our investigation – a report on the channel TV3.
So, what have we learned from the report (just the facts, without emotion and speculation):
- The man received a TEXT from an unknown number with unknown symbols, the SMS date is January 1, 2040
- "A representative of the operator of cellular communication" argues that in their system this message was not registered.
- The teller determined that the message was sent by a man living in our time. The fortune teller also advises the recipient to be careful not to drink a lot.
SMS from the future
Well, let's try to investigate this mysterious event. With the move looming following options for the occurrence of a strange message:
- SMS was really sent from the future, and in such an unusual way someone is trying to convey to the owner of the phone some information.
- SMS sent to our time, and his strange appearance is the result of a technical failure.
- SMS fake, created either manually or by the owner of the phone, or even journalists in pursuit of a hot story.
Using logic and Occam's razor, we can immediately discard the first option. Against it speaks at least the fact that in 2040 it is unlikely that someone will not like to use SMS, but to remember them. Who among us still uses a Telegraph, or even remembers its existence? But to send message 27 years ago would not only have to come up with a way to transport it in time, but also to find out a huge number of technical details, such as the operator used by the receiver, the data communication protocols in its network, etc. the Complexity of such a task are only marginally lower than the cost of transmitting a voice message to the subscriber on 27 years ago, the informative value of which is many times higher. In addition, in this case, the message is still held in the usual way via the operator's network and will be fixed at least in the memory of the base station, transmits it to the subscriber's phone. As the "representative operator", the network message with these characteristics is not registered.
Thus, the mystical theory of the origin of the message is not tenable. If anyone in 2040 will be required to send a message to the past, then it certainly will be for this purpose good reason, and he will find a way of guaranteed delivery to the addressee.
It remains to determine which of the two technical theories is most likely. For this you need to set the phone model to which received SMS. By visual analysis and search for the producers you can find that this phone (i.e. feature phone) Samsung C3300.
Phone Samsung C3300
This is one of the cheapest phones with touchscreen, does not have a full operating system in the modern sense (if you compare with iOS, Android or WinPhone). To work with this Samsung phone offers a special software - PC Studio. Quote from the manufacturer's website:
Samsung wrote:
With New PC Studio, you can manage the phonebook, schedules and messages in your mobile phone by exporting them to your PC. The saved information can be sent back to the mobile phone or synchronized with MS Outlook.
Ie, with the help of this program can download messages from the phone to the computer, edit them and send back! Thus, the technical possibility for fraud is quite a feature.
Separately, I note that on Android phones since it is much easier. Using free software SMS Edit you can edit any of the SMS in the phone memory, changing it in any field: message text, the addressee or the time of its receipt. By installing this software, I flick of the fingers to change the date of arrival of any message on 12 Oct 2056 g.
However, given the incorrect date and phone number of the sender, the more likely another option. Phone, in principle, for whatever reasons are not able to properly process a received message, to spread out the existing data in the desired fields. SMS is transmitted in a binary form, and the data in it rather intricately coded. A detailed description of standard give here has no meaning, below is a unit with one of the books where this information is provided.
If the phone is really for some reason failed to correctly process a message (or if he was trying to process the corrupted message, the data portion of which was damaged), then it could lead to being investigated by us results. The operator, by itself, does not confirm the transmission of content through its service it was held in the original (adequate), esportives already or in the process of receiving subscriber station or the phone itself when processing
Thus, there are several equally possible events which could lead to the resident of Chelyabinsk the phone messages from 2040. And, oddly enough, but in this case it is necessary to agree with the fortune teller who once said that the abnormal SMS in this little, and sent it to people living in our time. Well, less drink, and to be careful – it never hurts.
P. S. it is Obvious that to investigate this fact through and clearly define what was the cause of a strange message, it is not possible. However, you can narrow down the reasons, denying one of the versions. The simplest is to check the software PC Studio. In this regard, I appeal to our readers: if anybody of you have a phone supported by this program – see if you can use it to bring messages to it to such a state.
