Were you on the old/new $13 plan that you wondered about this? Or you just happened to look at your detailed usage and stumbled across those items and wondered?

Thanks softech.  I just turned of VVM. Hope this works.

@Bigfishfinder you have an Android.

7723 is used by Google when Visual Voice Mail is enabled on dialer settings.   You can disable Visual Voice Mail from the dialer setting and the sms to 7723 will stop

Hi @Bigfishfinder 

just ignore and delete.

Don't tell us a 10 digit number. It's likely a shortcode number.

@Bigfishfinder what number it sends to?? No worry, iPhone and Android has some sms sent that way, it could be normal 

Tell us the number it sent to

@Bigfishfinder  - you sure, are these short codes?

You looking at the detailed usage in your My Account?
