Just received the following SMS on my CDMA phone-

"Please call 0754768786. This message was sent by Telstra GCDY."

What's GCDY? I presume GC is Gold Coast, but after that I'm lost...

I wonder if they're trying to upsell me away from the CDMA network...
or perhaps I've just forgotten to pay my bill. :)
googlegroups@sensation.net.au - 10 Nov 2006 13:52 GMT
BTW my CDMA phone is on a $10/mo plan and it's never used. Seriously, I
haven't made a call for at least 6 months. I'd like to see them offer
something comparable on their 3G network. :)
googlegroups@sensation.net.au - 10 Nov 2006 21:48 GMT
It's been delivered at least 4 times now; once at 2:45am. WTF is this?

from what little i can gleam from google its an exchange or a form of
exchange. Gold Coast DY, i guess. call telstra.

The number below is not owned by Telstra

Dunno about the GDCY bizzo

What SMSC did the SMS appear to originate from?

GDCY could almost be mistaken for a dealer premise code but I doubt if
it is.
if it's important, they'll text again.

It's been arriving every few hours since I first posted. It's not
bothering me yet, if it does then I'll just call and find out why
they're sending this to me.

A few years ago I regularly had a security company calling me at
ungodly hours because their idiot operators transposed digits. Mine
wasn't a particularly difficult sequence or pattern so I wonder how
many other people copped it too. It took a long time to get it sorted
out because my number wasn't actually on their lists, so they claimed
they could do nothing.

Telstra-owned Telstra stores dont tend to have dealer premise codes starting
with G, tend to be F, A, 2, C, etc

And no one in the public would understand the association

It's not the Gold Coast.

0754 is from the Sunshine Coast.
0754768786 is connected to the Buderim exchange (source: Broadband Choice).

Dude, it's nothin important. All it is, is just the state land-lin
number. Which is 07 and someone's house/business phone number, which i
54768786. And i don't know why it didn't just send you the normal misse
call message. Coz when i took a look at mine, it was my dad's restauran
number with the QLD land-line number in front. And why's mine "CPF" t
the left says $15 while you all are $0?????????WTF!

"Why is my CPF says $15" - that sentence is not English, thus you are a
retard. A fucktard, to be precise

I "asure" you - people can tell you can't spell or use proper grammar for
sh.t

There is no god, just an immense pile of crutches for pathetically inadequate 'minds'

Which happens to be where "Vodafone" have their call centres, interestingly
enough
