I usually don't respond to such messages....may be it is because I am a girl and don't want to get into unnecessary troubles. If I am in a boring mood, nothing to do, then I might respond asking 'May I know who is this?'. I use this polite way because I am very poor in saving numbers of all my friends and keepign it in order so that I think it might be from any of my friends whom I forgot to save the number. Thank you for responding to my discussion. I thought I should also respond to your discussions.

I also reply, who you? I used to receive a lot of messages from unknown sender. Sometimes, I know them but their numbers are not anymore in my phonebook, so the easiest answer is WHO YOU?

Nope, I never reply to an unfamiliar text message. But I might reply it, if it's regarding some important matter. I will inform the sender that he/she has send their message to a wrong person. So the sender can send the message again to the right recipient.

If it is spam I do not replied.
I have not gotten text messages from people I do not know, tho I know of people getting personal text messages that would only make sense to the person it was meant for, kinda funny but I do not remember if they answer or not.

i would ask, "hu u?", just like you. then "where did you get my number?" "reply asap". That's how I send reply to an anonymous sms that I receive.

I used to ignore these kind of messages coz its a waste of my time and I dont want my load to be spent to anyone how I dont know. Sometimes(in my history of texting thought) when fewer and fewer of my friends reload regularly, whenever I get messages though not registered on my phone, I try to reply just not to waste on the load coz the expiration really matters to me. Without any load expirations I dont think that I'll reply those messages.

I never bother ro respond to anonymous text messages, it's a waste of time and money in my opinion. If the sender what's something from me, he'd better take the time to write a signed message or call me.

I don't reply to text messages from a number that I don't know. I think it is just a waste of time and phone load. Oftentimes, if the sender has really some important to say, he/she will text again to introduce him/herself. If the message is obviously sent erroneously, I return the message and explain that they sent it to the wrong number.

I wouldn't respond at all. lol. But if you think it wasn't meant for you - how about "huh?" That's universal.
