Received Picture Message - Text notification

HelpRequired — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 06:24:49 GMT

I've received a couple of text messages saying :

You have received a Picture Message from [mobile number]. To view the message, visit https://get.mms.ee.co.uk/ee/ and use your mobile number [my number] with the password [password shown]

Is this a security issue or scam?

If genuinely from EE, what is the purpose of the text?

So far, I have ignored as a potential security risk, don't want to click on any links

Thank you

This is a valid text from EE when you are being sent an MMS & your phone is not set up for them. For most phones, you can download the MMS settings needed from the online set up tool , so you can receive MMS directly w/out being directed to EE's d/load site.

This is a bad answer, that is a phising link.

Hi @catscats

You can find information on this text message, which is sent from EE in our Sending and Receiving Picture Messages on EE - The EE Community article.
