3G being discontinued - your phone needs upgrading

[kevinr]

I received a text message telling me that 3g is being discontinued and that as my mobile only works on 2G/3G you'll need to upgrade your phone - offering a Samsung A16 for £129. But why did I get this message? How does O2 know what phone I've got? To my knowledge both it and my SIM are 5g compatible, so why text me?

Seems as if the "funniest post" member can't take a joke.... 

Must be a grim lot on here then

You don't know the half of it, @kevinr 😬
