I sent out loads of texts on xmas day (all of which got converted to MMS, grrr) But someone then replied and said that a second text came through from me with a **bleep** link on it. No one else said this had happened but of all people it was actually my boss! Not nice on Christmas day. Is something up with my phone? He didnt save the message unfortunatly but it definatly came from me!
Any help would be apreciated!

Just an update on this, I sent out this message to 35 people in one text I know of at least 1 other person that had this link sent to them in a seprate message so that makes 2 people now. Everyone else said they didnt get it. The second person I spoke to (a friend, not another work person thank god) said she coudnt open the link, she also tried to send it back to me but it never came through. Its so strange as long as there is nothing IN my phone like a virus? Can iphones get a virus like a computer can. I even asked my IT guy at work and he said that it would be very unlikly to have come from my phone. Its just so embarassing! It woud help if I had the text but my boss deleted it and this other girl sends it back but it doesnt come through!

Anythings possible but malicious code for a mobile would probally have more of a goal than sending vulgar material once in a blue moon.
If you get the link pm it to me and ill do some research(not that kind dirty minds:D)

Iphones due the the locked down system are unlikley to get any sort of virus hence all apps via the app store and vetted etc Android is another matter though.
