That picture above is my Nokia6600. I've always used Nokia phones. Anyway, last week I started getting messages from people in my contact list, they said things like:

"What??"

"What do you mean??"

"?"

etc.

After some research, I found that I had lost all the credit in my prepaid account (only 20$, lucky I'm not on a contract!). Anyway, to cut a long story short, my phone had a virus and, "on its own" initiative, was sending multimedia messages to everyone in my contact list (including people overseas!). Needless to say I wasn't sending those messages myself, it was my bloody phone!! 9which, by the way, were being sent 24 hours a day, nost just during the day time!.)

I went to a vodaphone office and they actually offered me to repair my phone for a "friendly" fee of 80 bucks . After some more googling, I found a site with the key codes to hard-reset a Nokia6600 for... 0 bucks. The virus is gone.

How did I catch it? I haven't got a clue, but basically, you should never accept multimedia messages, period.

So, why am I telling you this story? well, if you were in my contact list, please be aware that I didn't send that sms, blame it on my Nokia 6600!!
