I’ve received a few texts saying I am on a ‘maritime plan’, and saying I need buy a roaming add on. Is this a scam? I am definitely not overseas.

Hello @BWFC23. 

Maritime is used when you are on a cruise ship and not able to connect to a network. 

What number did the text come from?

Hi. Can’t see the number the text came from. It just shows as ‘EE’, and not the usual 150 number when I get legit texts from EE.

Thanks for getting back to me @BWFC23. 

Are you showing as being connected to the EE network?
