@Petra1 Most likely to be a scam call.

Block the number and report it free to 7726.
Don’t ever give out any information or answer questions on a cold call.

Change your My O2 password immediately

Check recent orders and that your address hasn't been changed @Petra1

Yeah, unfortunately the 6 digit code is all they need to order goods, change address and mess around with other account options 

As said, change password pronto, and check no orders have been made.
