MT: strange SMS was a 'Rogue One'

Manx Telecom's apologised after a glitch meant many of its customers were sent a mysterious text message this morning.

People took to Twitter to ask the company about the garbled message, which contained Greek characters.

MT says the message was supposed to be a promotional SMS for a special offer on cinema tickets for the upcoming Star Wars movie.

It's now apologised, and says it's investigating why the message was scrambled.
