Received O2 SMS today, but it self deleted

I received a SMS fro O2 this morning regarding the ending of the contract between O2 and Carphone Warehouse.

In the SMS there was a discount code, which I was going to use to upgrade my phone to a new device. As I looked online in the O2 store (using a desktop computer), the message vanished from my phone.

Does anyone have this message or the code?

It sounds like a scam. Don't respond.

Others that have used to code have had the message that the code has expired anyway so I don't think you've lost anything.

It wasn't a scam, as the info about Carphone Warehouse is on the O2 website. Also, I upgraded my last phone through Carphone Warehouse and I do know that CW has closed down back in January/early February.

CPW is still online but they have finished their agreement with O2.

@ade809 I stand corrected. I wasn't aware that this had happened two days ago. I've found this page that should give you any information you need:
