Looks like a scam to me. Why would a phone number you don't know ask you for personal details?

@James997 : It's a scam! There are many of these going the rounds. EE would never send you a msg asking you to click on a link in order to update your a/c.

Report it to EE by forwarding the email to phishing@EE.co.uk .

That domain, faked to look like EE, was only created today in Holland. Browsers are already warning it's dangerous.

I had this message today from this number.

The site looks really good except it asks for to many details. Also EE has consistent billing, this was sent to me on the wrong time of month. Do not even click on it. The

EE: Your current outstanding bill has failed to debit. To continue using your network plan, please renew your details by visiting:
