On my bill I have about 10 txt messages to a UK number.
I have spoken to 2 deg who have credited my account.
However I am perplexed as to what they are.
There is no record of them being sent from my phone apart from the 2 deg bill.
Also these numbers are not in my address book.
In fact If I want to contact anyone in the UK I use messenger, watsapp or Skype.
So very confusing.
The two numbers are
+44 7537151541
+ 44 7491163442

If anyone can throw some light on this it would be amazing.
Thanks

Ok. So the next question is have you recently clicked on a link from an unknow SMS - in special one saying you had a package waiting for delivery or something similar that could have infected your device with malware?

No I never click on those and I went back to my phone history on the date I supposedly sent it and nothing.
Having said that I might run a virus check on my phone.
What is a recommended free one to use please ?

Mi community and Mi remote I notice has permission to access my phone.
