This error can often appear when the phone is attempting to download an MMS message in the background. Because MMS messages require use of the mobile network, the handset can't download the message when connected only via Wi-Fi and the result is the error message you describe.

To clear this, open up the messaging app and look for any MMS messages. Deleting these should clear the problem. Also in the Messaging app, go to Settings and scroll down to Multimedia message (MMS) settings. In this section, make sure the option Auto-retrieve is not selected.

Of course, this problem will go away if you perform a full factory reset of the device.
