Hello!

Today my friend received a text message from my number that I didn't send. How can this happen?

More likely scenario is your current / previous carrier's records got hacked / leaked exposing your/ your friend's call records. 

@LurganIeUk   entirely possible.    I was to ask the OP how "personal" the text was.  or was it those Send me money text with a link.

Like an APP??

 

What about.....where does the OP leave phone unattended......does it have an Unshared password....friends pranking or revengeful partner?

 

I understand it might be just spoofing,  I got this all the time from number similar to my own.   But happens between 2 known person?  yes, it is possible .. but what is the chance.

 

I just worry if OP phones got hacked and something running behind?

SMS spoofing at work.  No different than spam calls.
