I received a text saying, "Hola Douglas??" I replied, "Hola? Quien esta?" and got no response after that. My guess is that I confirmed that it was a valid phone number.

I just got a text from this number, too. Considering I don't give my cell phone number out to just anyone, it kind of annoyed me that some random number texts me saying "hola jillian???"

Got a text saying hey and using my name. When I asked who it was I did not get a response.

It seems all these comments are pretty recent, I too got a text saying hello and using my name as well. I agree that it's probably a computer program verifying cell phone numbers to spam-text people that respond which confirms the number for them. Best thing is to not respond.
