Warnings are being issued about Android apps that exploit a phone’s ability to send unlimited numbers of text messages.

The apps are proving popular because they claim to reward phone owners for every text message they relay.

 

But, the apps can relay huge numbers of texts via a phone and lead to its number being blocked.

Mobile operators say the apps violate their terms and conditions and could lead to a service being suspended.
