I'm an Orange PAYG customer and I received the same message today:

Orange customer,you may now claim your FREE CAMERA PHONE upgrade for your loyalty. Call now on 0207 153 9996. T&C's apply.Opt-out available

My first instinct was to Google it and this thread came up - thanks guys! :T

Yup - they are still at it. I got a text today (orange contract customer).

What a PITA these junk/spam texts are.
I don't like my privacy being intruded upon and, as I travel abroad, I especially don't like having to pay to be spammed. :mad:

(edit 1)
There's a page on the Orange website about spam texts. One of the things they ask you to do is to forward the spam text to them on 7726 (which spells 'spam'!). The site says that this text to Orange is free. Here's the link to the page on the Orange website.

My mum is on pay as you go with Orange and she received this text. She rang the number and the guy was really pushy and would not let her get off the phone. She put him onto me and I asked if he was from Orange, he said
they were a third party working on behalf of orange, he was asian and it
sounded like a call centre. He was not rude but would NOT take NO for an
answer and I eventually just had to put the phone down on him. Not sure if
it is genuine or not but it is not Orange and I certainly would not want to do
business with him anyway!

Just received the exact text message a few minutes ago - luckily I Googled it and found MSE as one of the hits!

I won't be calling it and have deleted the message.

please complain about this person if you know what company it is. pushy/rude/rouge companies cause so many problems get rid of them from orange's traders asap

I just got this and am not on Orange. It addresses me as a T-Mobile customer, and I'm not with them either. I'm with Virgin!

"Orange Customer, you may now claim your FREE CAMERA PHONE upgrade for your loyalty. Call now on 0207 153 9153. Offer ends 26 Oct. T&C's apply.Opt-out available"

There is never a free meal...anybody know what the catch (Scam) is?

i just got this message about 2 mins ago but it says T-MOBILE as i am a t mobile customer.

• This is indeed a SCAM how can we report it?

I work for T-Mobile. We do not send out texts like this at all advising customers they can have an upgrade - and there is never an end date for when you are eligible for an upgrade.

mine says 6th February end date, i know its nothing to do with t mobile, except that T-Mobile have sold my details on to another company, the same goes for other mobile companies, you have to opt out otherwise they sell customer details on automatically.
