if you recieve a call displaying ACE on your phone END THE CALL IMEDIATELY-IF YOU ANSWER THIS CALL A VIRUS WILL INFECT YOUR PHONE-the virus will erase all IMEI and IMSI information from both your phone and your sim card, which will make your phone unable to connect to the telephone network.You will have to buy a new phone.Both Nokia and Motorola have confirmed this information. There are over 3million mobile phones being infected by this virus in the USA now.You can also check this news on the CNN website.
Now you may think that this has nothing to do with Sony PS1 and PS2 and you are right but i thought that if i posted this then it might save you from having to splash out on a new phone when you might want to get a game.

What gets me, is why they put the display as "Ace". Surely it would be a lot more effective if it said "mom" or something like that. Then it would fool a lot more people!

Thanks for the info! Does it only effect the major phones, as my mom has a bosch phone. I'll tell here if it can effect it. My grandparents also have a bosch phone (it was 2 for £50).
