So I've had my new o2 iPhone 13 pro for just over 2 weeks. As soon as my phone got turned on I've started receiving continuous texts from a so called Samsung Verification with a 2fa code and at the end of each text is bP2ROrn3fZQ. 

 

To top it off I get phone calls from South Korea, on entering bP2ROrn3fZQ and my number into Google I've found the following:

and

Please tell me o2 don't give me a recycled number or one that is being used a temporarily used one

All numbers are recycled as there are not enough new ones available

O2 will change your number for free if you ask them.

If you message O2 on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this.
