Hi,
I received a text apparently from EEMMS saying:
You have received a Picture Message from (number). To view the message, visit https://get.mms.ee.co.uk/ee/ and use your mobile number (my number) with the password mmsp2tvOD5BixO
I didn’t trust it & thought it was most likely a spam. I recognised the number it was claiming had sent me the picture so I texted the person & confirmed that they had not tried to text a picture to me.
I have had this type of message come though before, though it’s been quite a while since. How do I stop it?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

@ddgym : This is a legitimate 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.

Hi, thanks.
Still the issue with that is the number it’s saying that sent the picture message (my mum) is saying she didn’t send it.
So still a bit confused as to why it’s come through.

Do you think it's possible that she included an emoji or something similar that could have converted a text message to multi-media message, @ddgym?

Why not just go to that EE d/load site & see what's been sent to you. Your Mum may have sent you a text containing a emotion converting it to an MMS.
