Help Getting empty messages after every call

I am a new Android phone user and I am observing a strange behavior in my phone. Empty messages are getting generated in my messaging app when ever I do certains actions in my phone.

For example, whenever I make a call that is unanswered, I see a new empty message is generated with that phone number and is displayed in my messaging app. Some other things also trigger generation of such messages but I am not sure what are those actions are. I think one of them is when I try to search for a phone number.

Initially, I thought there is some bug in the stock messaging app that came with the phone so I tried a couple of other apps such as tetra messaging, handcent etc. But the problem still exists.

When I click on the message, there is no data/text in it. Just the phone number or the number that I enter while searching.

This is really annoying and I am not sure what is going on. Every day I keep deleting these stupid messages. What should I do?

thank you!
