Mobile Virus ?

I just recieved the following email from a women in the office.

"I have just had a call from a friend whose Mum works for the Police. There is a Picture Text message on mobile phones being sent which is a virus if opened.
It will say ACE or will be a Picture of an ACE."

Is this possible ? What would a virus do to a mobile phone ?

It is a total hoax. I've had the same text message sent to me and I just deleted the text message anyway.

No such thing as a mobile virus yet.....however a malfromed test message can crash your phone. SMS phone crash exploit a risk for older Nokias (The Register)
