Hi, I just received a suspicious MMS on my phone from "O2 Business"there was an option to download a file but removed it instead. Is there any chance that my phone has been compromised. First thing I did after that was disabling auto download for MMS and installing AVG antivirus and I had scanned the entire phone.

As long as you didn't open the attachment you will be OK.

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.

@WDZ45 You did the right thing. You can block the number that texted you, or any number you think may be suspicious.

How to block a number:
