This morning , I receive 7 sms's [mms settings]. They awoke me, I look at the time and saw it was 3 o'clock. I saw it was this stupid mms settings, which I don't run, because nothing have change on my side. And of course, then you do not fall asleep after 2 minutes.

At least Absa send their sms's after 6 in the morning.

I turn my phone off at 8pm and have it turn itself on at 3:45am (I start work at 4am).

What happens is that the signal goes on and off here in the sticks. If someone sends me a message at 8:30pm and I have no signal till 2:30am the I get the message then. SMS, WhatsApp and Email. Also when we loose signal the battery takes a big strain. If its off it doesn't use any battery. I can get quite a few days out of my battery and only charge every 3 or 4 days.

MMS - the after effects of Stagefright, perhaps ? You should look at & consider changing your settings.

EDIT : this is what I was referring to, if you have an Android phone :

Open the Messages app and click on the three dots icon in the upper-right corner.
Click on Settings in the dropdown menu.
Click on Multimedia messages.
Uncheck Auto retrieve.

Probably knew this already ?

Disabling auto retrieve only stops the attachment being downloaded, the message header still comes through.
