Question

new sim offer from 3


Has anyone had a phone call from any Indian chaps claiming they are  from three network asking about bad coverage and then offering a new and better SIM card to be sent in post to your house? Stating it won't change your contract or phone number but just a better SIM to rectify the bad coverage?

They asked me for my email address and then sent an email and a one time pass code that I had to enter.. at this point I started to think it was a bit scammy and hung up.. they rang me straight back on like a normal mobile number again and we're quite pushy for me to cooperate but I asked them not to ring back and hung up again!

I checked my emails after and there was an email from id asking me to authenticate my email address and it looked very official and real! So not sure if it was a real thing now or not.. anyone else had this???

Hi ​@Sharples 

 

This doesn’t seem to be iD Mobile, as we would never be pushy.
