Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / February 2008Access recording on Orange?
I have a non-MMS phone with an ancient Orange PAYG SIM (still has Out Here). I received a couple of text messages which I think were telling me how to access MMS from either a call or the website. They said: "You have a new voice message from [number], subject: Recording. Call O to listen to you message, using access code [code]". "Call O" isn't very informative. Anyone know the phone number or website I should use? I tried the www.orange.co.uk/mms but that asks for an ID and password and all I have is an "access code". Steve. > "You have a new voice message from [number], subject: Recording. Call O > to listen to you message, using access code [code]". It sounds more like an a scam attempt to me, I'd ignore it, if a human being is trying to contact you about something important, they'll try again. > > "You have a new voice message from [number], subject: Recording.

It is legitimate, the number is a genuine contact and they've confirmed they sent it. Just wondered if anyone knew how to retrieve it.

Can't the caller send the (presumably audio recording) binary content via email, or put it on a web site you could visit? If your mobile account and handset don't include MMS then I don't think you can receive anything sent by that method.

I've been sent MMSes to a handset without MMS enabled on T-mobile and it gives a useful text giving a URL and details about how to retrieve it. The Orange text implies that there is some way to retrieve the message by e.g. dialing a number, giving the access code and listening to it. It looks like Orange haven't put the correct details in and left the very informative "O" on it instead of the correct number. I wondered if anyone knew what the actual number you are supposed to call is.

Orange have the same system, a URL with a passcode to retrieve the mms. > The Orange text implies that there is some way to retrieve the message > by e.g. dialing a number, giving the access code and listening to it.

I don't think this message was from Orange. > I wondered if anyone knew what the actual number you are supposed to > call is. Voicemail is 123, there is no voice number you can call to retrieve an mms. SignatureRegards Jon > I have a non-MMS phone with an ancient Orange PAYG SIM (still has Out > Here).

It's not geniune thats for sure. SignatureRegards Jon > I have a non-MMS phone with an ancient Orange PAYG SIM (still has Out > Here). [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > I should use?

Then you'd dial 0 70xxxxxxx - an expensive number with a possible profit for the callee. SignatureBob Eager begin 123 a new life...take up Extreme Ironing! > > "Call O" isn't very informative.

I suspected a scam at first but the number matches a genuine contact and they have confirmed sending the recording via MMS. They are on the 3 network in case it may have been generated by 3 and not Orange. Steve. |
