I have received a circular through official channels at my work relating to a "scam" whereby a caller requests phone users press#90 or #09. This allegedly allows access to the user's SIM card. Also, that a caller "Xalan" infects sim cards with a virus.
Allegedly, this has been confirmed by Nokia and Motorola.
I have refused to dissemminate this info. further as I believe it is bogus. Can you confirm?

By the way, did anybody ever got the email that said if you send it to 10 people you know, an "Anna Swelan" from Nokia would send you a "Nokia wap phone"?

Can't believe how many of my mates fell for that!

btw wonder if Anna is online on the boards

Thanks for that, as I suspected.
