I've had my phone number for 3 weeks now and I'm getting SMS messages from the Three network addressed to an individual that I do not recognise, saying that this person needs to contact them regarding payment. Is there any danger that Three can stop/control my new number??

No, this is a brand new number provided to me by EE. I've never been with EE before and certainly never with Three.

Hi @StrathGC
Are you still getting messages from Three?
If so, I would suggest contacting them again to see if they can help you further.
