Hi,

 

I just got a MMS, supposedly from O2UK which had no subject. It just has a download button, a size of 182K and says it expires 21:38 31 Jan.

 

This seems a but dodgy to me, trying to get me to download something before a very short time limit expires.

 

Anybody got anything like this before?

 

Thanks!

I'd delete it.
It won't be anything I need from O2 and they have my number and email if they need me urgently wink

If it's a legimate MMS sent you will have been given an online address to go to to view it if you don't have MMS enabled on your account.

 

If not as MI5 says ignore it.

You may not be correctly set up for MMS. Text the word "active" to 2020 or call CS to check.
