Is this a genuine text?

NMartin — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 14:00:42 GMT

I just received this text from a 1144 number.

Hi from EE. The days might be getting colder, but our giveaways are just getting warmed up. Fancy 2 days of unlimited data, minutes and texts on us?

Grab this awesome autumn gift by replying YES to this message by midnight 29 Oct and we'll add the data on for you. Terms apply.

Text STOP to 2040 to opt out from all text message marketing.

Is this from EE or is it a scam?

I also have received the same text and I went to reply yes but my phone told me I could be charged for replying to that number.

Thanks for coming to the community.

This does look like a genuine EE offer, you can find more details in our What are Promotional Add-ons? Help page.

If you would like to check this, you can give us a call on 150.

Thanks 🙂

Leanne.
