I received this text and have no clue to why. Also received another. Which was this!!


Your mobile verification code is 737610. Enter it online to verify this phone number. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel, Msg&Data Rates May Apply


Please help with explaining what this mean
 
DCB == Direct Carrier Billing.

You are somehow signed up for some product or service that will be added to your phone bill. They are looking for you to verify by texting the code (737610) back to them and whatever you signed up for will be activated and the cost will show on your bill or if you don't know what it is or don't want to pay for it, text back "STOP."

These can be sneaky and can add up quickly on your bill. I've often seen them with "free" ringtones or contests. Depending on your carrier you can disable Premium Messaging which will prevent anyone from cramming charges onto your bill.
