unwanted message on my mobile
3 Answers
Some time ago near my birthday I received a message called HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Oviously I opened the message, it was from a unknown source and was just a picture of a birthday cake and music. I have tried to delete it with no success. I took the phone into a Vodaphone shop but the assistant could not delete it either. Any ideas how I could delete it as being a wrinklie, do find mobiles a bit daunting. It would allow me to forward it but do not want to lumber someone else with it and then may still have it on my phone anyhow. Thanks for any help.

you get a message saying happy birthday .. (or a while ago it was I love you - all over the news for days!!!!)
you say obviously you opened it ..... why ... was it your birthday?
unknown sender ... why would an unknown sender whish ..... do you get the idea?
it's calles social engineering ... it relies on the "obviously I opened it" factor.
so if a phone bunny couldn't delete it ....
I wonder what a reset to factory default would do ....
or possibly a replacement sim
if it does work .... get rid of the obvious

a chum also thinks that a new sim should do it .... and we think it should be a freebie ... even if you are payAYG existing credit should be transferred
you are getting a it of a doing over .... ;-)
that's 2 bol*ckings so far .... wonder what the final count will be?
it's a good lesson though .... and goes twice on your PC ....
even looking at the pretty pictures of all the blue pills can be enough.
