Strange MMS from O2UK

[Anonymous]

I received a text MMS today from O2UK today which claimed it was a picture message but all it shows are the words no subject above the item and the where the picture is ment to be is a the words RANGE_FUP_MMS... I'm worried my phone now my now have a virus, I've phoned customers services but they wasn't much help and didn't seem to know what it was, is O2UK a genuine text from O2?

I wouldn't worry about it, as long as you didn't click anything in the text. Just delete it.

It'll likely be a promotional text that's gotten corrupted. I've had one similar in the past.

Just delete it.
Don't open or download it. If you turn off mobile data it can't run and once deleted it's harmless.

Unfortunately not using my Brain I clicked on it as it said it was from O2UK, my phone just said it was a unknown object

I had exactly the same MMS. Mine was from O2 as it came into the usual text box. I did click on it and mine Is an advert for their Christmas gift offers....

A gift from you and one from O2

I've found it strange as any texts I've had from O2 that haven't deleted are from O2 UK and not O2UK

If at all worried, download AVG Antivirus and run a scan, but I doubt you have anything to worry about
