Default SMS with 0871 scam...

I have just received an unsolicited text message:

"We currently have a message awaiting your collection. To collect your
message just call 0871 872 3810"

The text apparently originated from +20105996500 - which would seem to be an
Egyptian number - unless anyone else knows better. As I have absolutely no
connections in Egypt, this at least confirms my suspicion that the text is a
scam.

If anyone would like to call this number as a public service, it'd be
interesting to know how much you end up paying - and how long they keep you
in a queue or on hold whilst the minutes rack up. Interesting.... but I'm
not suggesting for a moment you do.
