Hi, Im hoping someone can explain this - I received a service message titled Ringtone a few minutes ago from http://tms.widelive.com/index.wml?id=faa94def45dbd3500059&first=true - Im a bit lost, Ive not signed up for any mobile services so Im a little concerned about retreiving it... Any ideas ?

It looks to me like a company has subscribed you to their ringtone service. There is normally a charge for this service and you may have even been charged for receiving that text message, or they may start charging you if you receive another of them.
Another MSE user had similiar problems and managed to get it sorted. I'd recommend visiting this thread for more info on how it was dealt with.0 -

Hi
An update: I called Virgin Mobile and they confirmed that nothing has been debited from my account and I should simply delete this and treat it as Spam :mad:. Ive noted the girlie's name just in case it isnt true. As Im on PAYG, I cant really see my bills so will just have to keep an eye on my balance"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children; one of these is roots, the other wings" - Hodding Carter
