That's a legitimate text from EE. Your current SIM allows you to access the 5G network but resticted to NSA mode. A replacement SIM will allow you to access 5G-SA and also VoNR carrying your voice calls over 5G rather than 4G.
Scammers generally want you to "click here to update your details" or somesuch.

Thanks.
I'm assuming I won't be charged to reply YES?

That's just a message built in to your phone when texting short form numbers, particularly the types used for competitions, to warn that these are usually chargeable.
In this case, it will not charge you anything as it is an official EE number.

The phone is misleading by saying "will" instead of "may".
To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone
ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up > 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB > 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB > 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU > 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU > 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC > 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC > 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC > 2022:EE 80 Meg FTTC SoGEA > 2025 EE 150 Meg FTTP
