Hi all,

i recieved this email from one of my contacts warning about a new mobile virus and this was no spam. just have a look :

Quote:

Dear All,

Please read it.....

All mobile users pay attention if you receive a phone call and your mobile phone displays (XALAN) 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 in all around the world now. You can also check this news in the CNN web site.

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

is this possible ???????????

or is this just a spoof?

anybody has any link on the cnn website??

can virus spread through calls??

seems strange??

anybody??

I don't think any Virus can effect the Mobile through networks calls...
Note this thing, Firstly the Network Providers are maintaining there networks Daily so if in case any of these kind of virus exist they'll be the first one to warn us or else they'll eliminate it without knowing us...
