It turned out to be a scam; the caller pretended to be from EE, warned that my SIM would be cancelled and asked for personal details, even though I've never been an EE customer, so I gave them a piece of my mind. It was definately a dodgy call.

Expert Opinion
Ever received a call claiming your mobile service is about to end? These reports highlight a clear pattern of scammers impersonating EE, the telecom provider, to extract personal details or trick recipients into downloading malware via texts. None of the callers were genuine customers, raising instant red flags. Common tactics include threats of SIM cancellation and requests for verification codes—classic phishing ploys. Hang up immediately if you get such calls; never share info or click links. Report to Action Fraud and your actual provider to block threats. Staying vigilant prevents identity theft and financial loss.

Following a previous warning, the caller pretended to be from EE, warned that my SIM would expire tomorrow and asked me to confirm my number – which I said was the one they were calling – then insisted on sending a text code. I hung up, later received a genuine EE message telling me not to share any code, confirming the call was a fraud. Stay alert.
A woman asked me to confirm whether I was using an EE SIM. When I said no, she probed for my actual provider, and I hung up. Clearly a scam.
They pretended to be from EE, saying my account would be closed because I was using an obsolete SIM. They also sent a text urging me to open it and download something. Naturally, I ignored it – I don’t even have an EE account.
