There seems to be some confusion here between "Missed call alert" which is an alternative to voicemail and "Abandoned call alert" which can be switched on even when voicemail is switched on. Google "O2 Abandoned call alert" to find out more.
I have Googled 'O2 Abandoned Call Alert' but what I am geeting is indeed the 'Missed Call Alert' as defined by O2:
Missed Call Alert - you can have this instead of voicemail. This service will automatically send you a text notification to say that you missed a call if the caller couldn't get through. The text will say something like:
"You missed a call from me at 16:21 17 Mar. This is a free Call Alert from o2"
This is exactly the message which I am receiving so is indeed the Missed Call Alert.

Home / Support / Turning Abandoned Call Alert on/off
Turning Abandoned Call Alert on/off
To turn Abandoned Call Alert on/off, simply dial 901.
Then dial *, 4, 5
Please Note: For Abandoned call Alert to work, voicemail must be selected. To turn voicemail on, simply dial 1750.
I have had this switched on for a long time so get these alerts whenever a caller does not leave a voicemail.

Answering your phone isn't always possible and with Call Alert we'll send you a text message everytime you miss a call.
If you have no coverage, are on the phone or even if your phone is switched off we'll text you to let you know that you have missed a call.
We'll send you the time and date of the missed call, along with the number that called you so you can return the call.
There are two types of Call Alert:
Missed Call Alert - you can have this instead of voicemail. This service will automatically send you a text notification to say that you missed a call if the caller couldn't get through. The text will say something like:
"You missed a call from me at 16:21 17 Mar. This is a free Call Alert from o2"
Abandoned call Alert - this is an optional complimentary service that works with voicemail. If you choose Abandoned Call Alert, you will receive missed call notification text if the caller couldn't get through, and didn't leave you a voicemail message.
Please note: Missed Call Alert and Voicemail cannot be used at the same time. When you switch on one service, it will switch off the other.

Not sure what is going on again with my account but haven't received any of these alrerts since my posts on here in May. Now, all of a sudden, I get another message, over the weekend, stating:
After checking on my iPhone 5, I can confirm that I had NO missed calls whatsoever (my phone did not even ring) + the fact there are no voicemails or anthing to signify that somebody tried to call me?!?!
Why am I STILL getting these messages 4 months on.....................?!

...hmm, that would surely explain why my iPhone shows no actual missed calls or messages then! Just realised that the number which the supposedly 'missed call' came from, seems to be different each time I get these messages. I'm guessing that if these were genuine texts from O2, the number would always be the same!
I guess I am just going to have to block these numbers, each time I receive a text! Cheers for that link MI5 - looks like these texts are indeed scams enticing me to call the number back to get sucked in!!

I think these are a scam too. Have been sitting at my desk, phone next to me, when one of these messages came through saying I had missd a call at 1535. But there was no call, and no message. Why don't they leave a message? Tried dialling from my office landline but got a 'fault' number. Am blocking, I love that function on the phone.........
