Anonymous Spam Mobile Network Scam (EE, O2, Three, Vodafone) 3 weeks ago

Ignorant Indian-sounding woman who just talked and wouldn't listen. She said my EE sim will stop working tomorrow and that she'd send a new one. Wanted loads of details but didn't give any. When I told her I worked for EE and sims don’t expire, she hung up. How rude!

Anonymous Spam Mobile Network Scam (EE, O2, Three, Vodafone) 1 month ago

Was told I needed a new EE sim card. When I asked them to write to confirm they were EE and that I needed a new sim, they said they could not.

Zach Turner Spam Mobile Network Scam (EE, O2, Three, Vodafone) 1 month ago

Call centre sounded like they were in Manila because of their accent. They used a Birmingham landline and said they'd send a text link to activate a new SIM. It happened on the day my contract should be renewed. Has EE had a data problem they have not told people about?
