Get any strange texts last night?

If you did, you may be among those who appeared to be affected by a glitch that caused texts from February — and many specifically from Valentine’s Day — to be resent.

A company called Syniverse, which provides text message platforms for three of the major US carriers, but not Verizon, issued a statement Thursday saying the issue was theirs, a Verizon spokesperson told NJ Advance Media.

“During an internal maintenance cycle last night, 168,149 previously undelivered text messages were inadvertently sent to multiple mobile operators’ subscribers,” Syniverse’s statement said.

“We apologize to anyone who was impacted by this occurrence,” Syniverse Chief Marketing and Product Officer William Hurley said in the statement. “While the issue has been resolved, we are in the process of reviewing our internal procedures to ensure this does not happen again, and actively working with our customers’ teams to answer any questions they have.”

Message recipients took to Twitter and Reddit in the wake of the mystery, and then media outlets began to investigate.

Sprint told HuffPost that “a maintenance update occurred to part of the messaging platforms of multiple carriers in the U.S., including Sprint, which caused some customers to have older text messages sent to their devices.”

And The Indianapolis Star noted that just a few weeks ago Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon “announced that they were teaming up on a next-gen text messaging platform called the Cross Carrier Messaging Initiative."
