I need some help to answer this query and also have reseached for it but found nothing on it, so baffled now so though i try posting this around to see if anyone else knows!

A user from another mobile forum is on UK Orange with Samsung E700.

He keep getting mystery SMS text message from "@".

When he open it just says SIM Update but knows it's not a genuine Orange SIM updates as they come addressed from Orange containing "SIM Update"

He has contacted Orange they tell him that they never sent them.

He keeps reporting the problem to Orange Customer Service and they reply was they he is recieving SPAM from 3rd companies.

Does anyone know what this could be or have heard/exprienced this?

All your help is appreciated to solve this persons stange problem!

Regards,
