My phone keeps getting this weird MMS with a download link. The sender reads "unknown address" No matter how many times I delete it, it just keeps coming back. Has anyone else seen this or know what it's for? 3 Likes 1 Share

They are not really strange. When you download them, the unknown sender will change to the sender's name. It's mostly adverts from MTN. I receive them too. 8 Likes |

It is a MMS, Multimedia Messaging Service. It can only be downloaded and read only when your data is on. |
