Both mine, and my wife's Nokia 6230's have got the headset icon on the screen though neither are connected to a headset or headphones. Its just happened today. Even resetting the phone doesn't do anything. Could we have a virus and if not, how can Iget it off. I can't make or recieve calls with it on.

yes a phone can get a virus, but not the one you have, mobile phone viruses such as commwarrior, caribe and cabir only affect symbian operating systems which are found on nokia and sony ericsson smartphones. the symbol that you have on the screen represent the 'enhancements'. this means the phone thinks you have a headset plugged into the bottom of it. after working for orange for three eyars and running diagnostics for this exact problem you have two options - a full factory reset or have it replaced

All mobile phone in DIGITAL system can be infected by this virus..If you receive a phone call and your phone display "UNAVAILABLE" on the screen (for most of digital mobile phones with a function to display in-coming call telephone number), DON'T ANSWER THE CALL. END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY!!!BECAUSE IF YOU ANSWER THE CALL, YOUR PHONE WIL L BE INFECTED BY THIS VIRUS.. This virus will erase all IMIE and IMSI information from both your phone and your SIM card which will make your phone unable to connect with the telephone network. You will have to buy a new phone.
This information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia..
For more information, please visit Motorola or Nokia web sites:

There are over 3 million mobile phone being infected by this virus in USA now. You can also check this news in CNN web site: http://www.cnn.com..

About 2 months ago, my phone caught a virus that f'd with the graphics. It had the face of a pirate all over the web pages. It sucked.

my fone has an anti virus program on it f-secure so yes they can but you have to invite i think by downloading crap from the internet but what you desciribe sounds like software failure to me and yes it can happen twice did you get them the same time from same provider etc could be a dodgy batch get in touch with your service provider and explain the problem to them

go ask the company or store you got it from, there are cellphone vireses out there but you only get them by downloading MALWARE from on your cellphone
