Text code 128 and 2300
HI, In the last the code 2300 and 128 have been popping up on my usage as text messages. Please provide information as to what these codes are? The 2300 is 8-10 in a row at times.
Hey all! We love that you are taking advantage of the app and website to keep an eye on your bill and usage details. It can be nerve wracking when something new shows up that doesn't totally match up with what’s on your device. It took me a bit of time, but I was able to clarify with some of our messaging and billing teams that the 2300 code is used for Multimedia Messaging routing (think picture and group messages) and 128 is used by our voicemail system. These codes are used on the system side of things to deliver and confirm delivery of your important data, so it shows on the bill as a stamp. The phone does not show the short code because it receives the real important stuff; your messages and voicemails.

So is this ever going to get updated. I don't want to see a billing code. I want to see the numbers on my bil. I might end up switching back to att just for this.
They used to tell you WHO sent the picture, by phone number, now its just this BS '2300' and no way to tell who sent what. Seems dangerous to me.
I just started having this issue, today! Both my wife's phone, and mine, receive this code "Free Msg: Recipient (family member phone number) unable to receive message - Message Blocking is active". When I looked at my phones blocked list, the number doesn't show it's being blocked. I looked at the message boards and saw how to fix it:
- Go to T-mobiles app “T-Life”.
- Go to Manage (its an option on the bottom right dock)
- Under ‘People’ select your device. (should have your name listed)
- Scroll to Status. Select Scam block>then block messages>and disable (turn off) blocking chargeable texts and picture messages
However, my Scam Blocking is not on / activated. Any suggestions?
