Hi @Silvi

It means you have sent a MMS instead of a text. (this is where you add emoji's etc to a simple text and it converts it to a multi media message). See help here

Another thread on the community about the same thing

Edited to add, it's not a scam. It's showing a conversion number from sms to mms

@Silvi what it actually means is that you used a subject line heading when you composed your text message. 

You can turn off the subject line in message settings to avoid this happening again.

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.
