O2:We were unable to process your latest bill. In order to avoid fees, please update your payment information via: <link removed>

Received the above as a text message. Was busy at work & wasn’t paying attention and clicked link. Link is very similar to 02 asking for login details.

Please escalate

Phew... that’s a relief. I’ll be really careful about these texts in the future. Thank you so much.

Hi, I have today 08/08 received the same text, O2: We we're unable etc, etc from +44 7341 929732 and I tried as you suggested to send to 7726, and again as a couple of months ago when I received the same from +44 7393 802207 the text failed to send...??. Do you know if there is any reason as to why it's not going through ?.

Even though it's a free text, a zero spend cap will prevent short codes from being sent.

[Willywonka18]

Appreciate the quick reply but I don’t have any spend cap on Acc, I have tried to send from phone, iPad and neither work, q, just as typing am thinking maybe as I’m trying to send screenshot it won’t send ???

Possibly.

You just need to press and hold on the text then select "forward" and enter 7726.

No need for a screenshot.
