Personally,i use Iphone gestures on my phone because my thumb can't reach all 3 buttons and the iPhone gestures solve that but that was not a problem for me at the time and i was more worried about the lost screen real estate with buttons,so i started using the gestures and it was great and easy to learn

There are two points that I pass along the way to work. Both of those points are the locations where the person could be at a given time. I’ve never connected to their wifi either location. It’s more likely that they are getting a notification based on a geofence or something like that maybe. Is it possible that someone can add my telephone number and setup a geofence somehow so when I’m in a particular area they get an alert even if my location services are disabled? How they’re doing is the question because it’s really freaking me out now.

These messages may be coming from an email > SMS gateway. For example, with T-Mobile you can send an email to [number]@tmomail.net and it'll be forwarded automatically via SMS/MMS to the specified 10-digit phone number.

With T-Mobile there is an option in the account settings to "Block TMOmail.net email." It's unclear whether this option works however - as there have been some reports claiming that it's broken. Other cellular providers may have a similar option.
