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?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

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.
