BEWARE: Scam Text Regarding EU Roaming Offer

stephenmwhite80 — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 15:05:06 GMT

Hi everyone.

Please be aware I just received a scam text from a random number (1111) regarding free EU roaming for being a loyal customer.

I already have this and haven’t clicked.

Strongly suggest you don’t click the link if you receive!!

Hi @stephenmwhite80.

Thanks for coming here.

@XRaySpeX is right, this is a legitimate text from EE.

Thank you Katie. I’m happy to be corrected.

As it was a different number it looked odd to me.

It's best to check if you are not sure @stephenmwhite80.

Enjoy your free roaming.

Katie 🙂

I contacted EE and they told me it was a scam and was not real and that I should report to 7726

Hi @Diamond_Sue

I am sorry if you were told it was a scam. If the message has come from 1111, it is a genuine text from EE offering inclusive EU roaming.

I’ve just been on to EE on their messaging service and been told it’s a scam too and to not reply! This leaves me with little confidence so who do I believe?!

Hi @VeganDJH

As @Katie_B and @XRaySpeX both stated, we can confirm the offer you received from 1111 is legitimate and a promotion that we are currently running.

1111 is one of our official SMS number for promotions.

Hope this clears up any confusion.
