Hi guys just got this text on my 3 mobile phone:

THREE CUSTOMER: YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR A COMPLETELY FREE PHONE WITH FREE LINE RENTAL + UNLTD FREE CALLS 1ST COME 1ST SERVED. CALL FREE 08001983333 t&c appl

Is this from '3' or is this just one of those random text messages


It doesnt even have a number from where its from it just says "CALL NOW" where the number should normally be

This isnt a text from 3, its like you say from a random company who spam people in the hope that someone will phone and get stitched up! If you are near the end of your contract ring 3 and they might offer you a decent retention offer! I got an n73 for free on a 12 month contract with 300 mins, 150 txt msgs, 25 video mins, 25 picture msgs and £5 dowloads and a £25 credit for £15 a month they have some really good no handset deals aswell, just have a look at the 3 retention thread.

I always Google if I get something suspicious and there is usually a website that will give you information. I had an email recently about a virus with Microsoft and to contact them which I googled, it turns out the email was a virus in itself that attaches itself your address book, good job I checked.
