Just purchased a new phone and received a message saying my latest bill could not be processed and my o2 services would be disabled unless I updated my info. I merrily began doing this, assuming it was because of the new phone. Until it got to the part where it wanted all my bank details…
I’ve just received another text. The numbers being used are 07****** and 07******
Solved! Go to Solution.
