Hi Tim and everyone. The OS upgrade today did one thing n- it revealed the source of the "hidden" message. Turns out to be the SMS call out mobile number that DFES CommCen use. ( So, critically - that's the most important thing solved, and if in doubt somebody will ring me)
Unfortunately the OS upgrade did not restore my SMS Saturday test messaging - that comes ex "somewhere else - maybe Indonesia?" via a Perth call centre. I have SMS MMS on. Done the airplane on/off. There is 1.4GB of space on the phone and I usually delete email and SMS immediately. I checked Telstra and blocked callers ( I changed from a Samsung last year) - they say I have none. I can go into a bit more detail about this off line, but I am now thinking - this is not an iPhone issue. Other members of my team have iPhones and they have no issues. Trouble is I can only test the service once a week! Thanks for all the advice.
