Help me sort out why I'm getting mysterious text messages in the middle of the night.

Either Casper is working nights or I've got a T-Mobile issue.
I have a run of the mill T-Mobile phone - no data plan. Nothing fancy.
About a month after I purchased the phone I started receiving a blank text from the number '129' every morning at 3 a.m. According to T-Mobile, the '129' message is a "known issue" and occurs when a user receives a voicemail (in my case, I also receive the message when I check my voicemail; occasionally, I will also receive this blank text message when I receive a call).
Here's why this is odd. When I receive the message at 3 a.m., I have not made or received any calls. There have been two separate times where I have received the text at 3:02 a.m. I do not receive the text message every night -- generally I get it five out of seven days each week. The message is not connected to any alarm and happens on both week days and weekends.
I have spoken to other T-Mobile users, googled the question, checked the T-Mobile site for information, etc. No one seems to know what is going on.
Any ideas?

Response by poster: I have a Nokia Nuron.
Nope, no unheard messages. Good thought though.
The 3 a.m. encore is really the odd part for me.
