Hey, I just got this e-mail from a bud in Tx, a little while ago:

If you receive a phone call and your cell phone displays (ACE) on
the screen DON'T ANSWER the call, END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY; if you answer the call, your phone will be infected by a virus. This virus will erase all IMEI and IMSI information from both your phone and your SIM card, which will make your phone unable to connect with the telephone Network. You will have to buy a new phone.

This information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia.
There are over 3 million mobile phones being infected by this virus
all around the world now. You can also check this news on the CNN web site.

"PLEASE FORWARD THIS PIECE OF INFORMATION TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS HAVING A MOBILE PHONE"


This is a new one, I guess, just to make our day.

No, it's an OLD urban legend that Snopes says isn't true. (http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/mobile.htm)

Thanks Jazz, I'll reply to my buddy that Snopes pronounced it a hoax.

Glad to hear it ain't true!

YW. I thought it was interesting it has been around since 1999. :yikes:
