I was just browsing for a new Blackberry (hadn't put my details in ANYWHERE) and I've just received a text from +447912468511 saying "What kind of blackberry are you looking for? Do you just want the handset or the contract too?"
Obviously I am not replying to this text message, but how on earth has this number got my mobile number if I haven't entered my details anywhere?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Does your company log all internet access? Could be one of the network admin's playing a joke?? Although I wouldn't go accusing anyone0

being mischeivous, i just called the number from work (number withheld automatically as it goes through the switchboard). it rang and rang then went through to an O2 Voicemail service.
not much use to you I know, but you could keep trying it and see who answers, ask their name then say you've got a wrong number...
I'd suggest it's someone you know who you've spoken to, but they've changed their number and not told you.GREENS M'SHIP OFFER NOW CLOSED SO PLEASE DON'T ASK ME!Olympic Debt-free Challenge £2150/£11900 = 18.0%NOW INVESTIGATING AN ALTERNATIVE TO MY IVA - I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ONE ANY MORE!0 -

You've just solved my query - I know exactly who it is now!! Not sinister in the slightest!
