Dialing *228 and pressing 2 to update roaming did the trick. Thanks!

I never had this problem until last night. Did a reset to basically do a data dump before bed. Reset, booted, unlocked then put phone on the charger and then wake up from rest and theres a bunch of numbers in my bite sms and messages apps. I was so mad.

Found this solution online via a Google search waiting now to see if it works completely. The only people who weren't affected at all were iMessage users I see.

Very weird tho.
