So I picked up a cheap Alcatel AT&T GoPhone the other day. It was new out of the box and the guy behind the counter let me choose a number then programmed the SIM card, took it out of the larger card it was attached to and put it in the phone.
When I turned it back on an hour later and was going through the settings I came across about 15 text and media messages that had been sent and received as long as 10 days earlier.
Why would text messages show up on a new phone with a new SIM card that are dated 10 days before I bought the phone?
I called the AT&T store and the guy said he had no idea and that it was very strange.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Re: Got new Go Phone with new sim and phone has 10 day old texts on it
It's possible the phone was turned on 10 days ago, someone put a sim in it, and some messages were loaded in. Or if the sim card stores the messages, the sim card you got was not new. OR the phone is, in fact, not new. OR the messages were intended for the person that previously had your number, and they were sitting in limbo for 10 days. The number is activated again, and they are delivered.
