https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Tech-Support/Repeated-quot-Thanks-for-activating-visual-voicemail-quot-text/m-p/1743173#M51891 <P>Hi there. I&nbsp;keep getting texts saying "Thanks for activating visual voicemail", but I've never actually done so (it's 2024, who uses voicemail?!). These appear to be official O2 system messages - there are no links out, my phone recognises it as coming from "O2:", and the texts are marked at the bottom as "you cannot reply to this short code".</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Does anyone know why I might be getting these alerts? My concern is someone is trying to remotely access my (non-existent) voicemails remotely, and each attempt is causing one of these texts to come through to my actual phone, but less paranoically, if it's just an error, how do I stop them?</P> Wed, 28 Aug 2024 10:07:20 GMT Kamen_Writer 2024-08-28T10:07:20Z https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Tech-Support/Repeated-quot-Thanks-for-activating-visual-voicemail-quot-text/m-p/1743173#M51891 <P>Hi there.
