Annoying texts

Why have I received a text, purportedly from O2 , requiring me to contact them ASAP regarding my account, providing an 03 number to contact. Surely an e-mail would be preferable as O2 have my personal details.

Just call 202 from your phone to ensure you are talking to O2 and not a con artist trying to scam you.
Best to call to check everything is OK with your account.

If it is a scam details of how to report it to O2 and Action Fraud here https://www.o2.co.uk/help/safety-and-security/fraud-and-phishing-advice
