Sprint phone bill charges.?

I was charged an extra $12 on my phone bill for 59 "international texts - Russia". I contacted a Sprint representative, asked if this could be a mistake, and they said that it was not a mistake. I asked for an explanation, and he said he could not give me one. I checked my text log, and I have texts that show up from a friend's phone number (as 720-xxx-xxxx) and are under category "texts". But, for the same phone number for a few days out of the month, the texts show up under the category "international texts" for a charge of $0.20 per text. I contacted my friend, and she was definitely not in Russia for any period last month. Can someone please tell me where these charges came from? I will have to call Sprint tomorrow, but I would just like to know before I am put on hold with them for an hour.

    It sounds like you or someone with access to a phone on your account may have been tricked into sending texts to Russia—or, if they originate in Russia, your phone number was hijacked to send them. In the latter case you can compel your carrier to credit them if you have the time and patience to file a police report.
