over past few days. Only things we can do as consumers is report them to
7726 (SCAM on a keypad) and let EE VODA SKY O2 etc do whatever they need to
do. It's in any phone networks interest to stop this sort of thing asap as
it looks bad on them, when in reality there's little they can do before it
happens. At least once I've reported any numbers to 7726 they have been
very quick to shut them down.

I had the same but just so happened to be watching scam interceptors. You can copy and past the message and send it to 7726 they will message back and ask the number that sent it. Apparently all networks use it. Thanks Rav Wilding

Hi @Padey,
Welcome to the EE Community.
If you have confirmed your mobile number, you may see an increase in spam texts but they won't be able to access your account without any other details.
