Text from unknown source

[esiemiat]

In the prior version of GVMax I seem to recall that texts from people who were not on my contact list would still come through as the phone number that sent the text. Since the new version came out texts from unknown sources do not get sent to my IM. Is this by design, or do I have something configured wrong?

I am having the same problem.  Has anyone found a fix for this?
