mobile fone virus

[chillychoons]

i received an e-mail which informed me that if i received a call on my mobile and the fone showed "ACE" on the screen, that under no circumstances[/u] should i answer the call, as a virus would be installed which wipes the IMEI & IMSI information from both your fone & SIM card. does anyone have any further information regarding this? i do not know if this is a UK only problem or not. apparently this information has been verified by both MOTOROLA & NOKIA. just thought everyone should know[/u]

It's a load of you know what. ;)

Last I read, there are 52 different viri for mobile devices. All of which are aimed at Symbian, and all of which are based on the same concept virus. Which means they can only access your phone by first prompting you to install a program usually sent oever Bluetooth. None of these viri wipe your IMEI information.

There are currently no known viruses for Windows Mobile devices, so there is nothing to worry about. :D

I agree Mike.
