Very probably a scam

O2 don't normally call customers

However if you are still using a Virgin sim then you do need to replace it

Best option is instore with photo ID

If you call customer service your current sim will be disconnected automatically when the system recognises a new sim has been ordered

That way you could be up to a week with no phone

This is why we say go instore

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO PHONE CALLS CLAIMING TO BE WORKING FOR?WITH O2

To add to @jonsie's advice - O2 are in the process of asking customers with older SIMs, ones incapable of 4G/5G, to pop into any O2 store and exchange their old SIM  for a newer one, before the 3G switch off happens. More info here, @JanT
