Hoax Vodafone Text ?
Anyone else received this?
Text message purporting to be from vodafone saying "in 24 hours we will send you a text to install new settings on your phone"
The text does not appear in my inbox.... wait there's more
Today, switched phone on screen shows
Vodafone here are you new settings to install with options at the base YES or NO
I clicked NO, so for anyone else getting this, think, why would Vodafone be wanting to change the settings on your entire phone, it must be a hoax.
I havent contacted vodafone and again there was no text in my inbox.

They can be real, they are usually referring to WAP settings or photo messaging settings.
They could be from a scammer and designed to change your WAP number to a premium rate number, for example. Networks only usually send out messages like these when requested or when you first register the sim.0 -
sometimes the networks send out other SIM updates
why not ask the Customer Services?0
