Hi. I received the following message:

You have received a Picture Message from 44xxxxxxxxxx. To view the message, visit https://get.mms.ee.co.uk/ee/ and use your mobile number 44xxxxxxxxx with the password xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Does this seem legit?

That's a legitimate text message from EE, someone has sent you an MMS picture/video message which your phone isn't setup to receive.

Ok, thanks. Have received so many phishing messages/emails lately. It’s getting ridiculous 🥴 Just thought it was odd that it’s been sent from a number that’s not in my contacts list.

Thanks again, I appreciate your reply.

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.

Hello 

I’ve received over a hundred of these messages in the past few days whilst working in America. 

my iPhone is on a data plan (using a second eSIM)

Worried I am going to be hit with a huge bill from EE

can I stop them?  I don’t even know who’s sending them to me,  but I was on a large iMessage group and think the messages are from people in that group.

@Daviesap : It is free to receive MMS & texts worldwide.

These MMS notifications are nowt to do with iMessge.  Why don't you go & pick them up & see who they are from &/or get your phone set up for receiving MMS directly?
