How can I stop receiving unwanted texts or SPAM?

When you receive a text from a company you have not given your number to, this is called SPAM. Unfortunately, Lyca Mobile is unable to prevent you from receiving these unwanted messages, unless you want to ban all text messages. These companies have clever ways of getting mobile phone numbers. One way to avoid SPAM is to be careful about what sites you give your mobile number to.

Why is there a flashing envelope on my mobile?

The flashing envelope indicates your text memory is full. This will usually prevent you from receiving more text messages until you have deleted a few old ones. You can delete messages from the Inbox, Sent or Draft folders to free up some storage space. The number of messages you can store will vary from one handset to another.
