Hi again people,
I know someone who is getting 18 text messages at about 1am with the following:
application/x-wap-prov.browser-settings
from the number 2107000
They are not beign charged for these texts so his service provider cannot track these texts because they are not showing in his call history, we have also tried contacting the phone manufac. and ofcom but all unable to help, any idea where it may of come from, i have used google and found loads of info but all saying that its a type off OTAP for the web broswer but not anyway to stop it or find out with provider its ocming from?!
Thanks in advance
Will
