"SCAM CALL - someone pretended to be from EE and offered to upgrade my SIM card to 5G. The person also sent a text message that looked like it was from EE, which made me think the call was real. This is a 'SPOOFING SCAM' - a scam text made to look like it came from a real place. The text had a one-time code that they wanted me to read back to them. This was all to make me trust them, and then they asked for my personal details for security, but I didn't give them any. I've let EE know about this scam."

"The first caller said he was from EE. They were going to send a replacement SIM because mine would be switched off. They wanted my email to check I owned the account. I told him it was a work phone and I wasn't the account owner. The second caller (same number) asked who my provider was. Seemed like there was some confusion in India!"
