Hi @Anonymous

You need to turn on mobile data to get the MMS

Welcome to the forum by the way....:smileywink:

Make sure it's from a source you know.
If you don't know who sent it, just delete it.
Many scams are started in this way.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

The Stagefright Exploit is delivered by MMS, so as @MI5 has said, if you don't know who it's from, delete it. Here's a guide about the exploit: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/android-stagefright-mms-hack-news/

Sounds malicious

950 million Android phones are vulnerable. If you use Google Hangouts and you haven't got it set up correctly, you don't even have to open the infected MMS and it could corrupt your phone.
