Telling me my balance of my bill. Also clicked on another message, which had the vodafone logo. Also im with telstra. I keep deleting these messages from nos not im my contacts but the messages are still coming through . I have had a couple of replies whic i had to apologize. One person said whats pagamer. I googled it its when a person gets a virus on there phone. So im aszuming i have a virus. Please explain.

Also the link on these mms are from optus.

Its not a virus. Someone (or some PC) is just sending you MMS with dodgy links.

Just ignore and or delete them.

As Peter said, ignore them AND NEVER click on a link from an unknown sender because you might activate a virus download.

Try downloading a free antivirus program (if you are using an Android phone) from the Playstore.  I use AVG and it works well.

I have received these messages also, but I presumed they were safe as it said they were from Optus so I clicked on it and they keep sending now!

I've called Optus about this but they have no idea what I'm talking about.

Help.
