For the incessant text message to the UK number, it is caused by iMessage trying to activate the service. Just go over to Settings>Messages and turn off iMessage. You can do the same for Facetime. Once iMessage is turned off, you will notice that the messages to the UK number will stop.
Although, the main reason to this problem might be that you have multiple back-ups on your computer for multiple devices.
While restoring contacts and other things, your mobile number may be wrongly displayed on iMessage. To fix this, a reset of network might be necessary and reboot.
There it is folks. I hope this help someone
