Phone number ☎️ 01438989231 👆 is reported as a number frequently linked to both scam calls and legitimate sales efforts associated with EE via a partner called StepChange. Many users report receiving persistent calls with no messages left, some experienced aggressive upselling tactics for contracts or products they didn’t want, and others noted suspicious behaviour such as asking for personal details or confirmation codes. Several have confirmed with EE that it is not an official EE number and flagged the calls as fraud or scams. Others, however, found the calls genuine and reflected on their EE accounts. Overall, the experiences are mixed with a strong caution towards it being a potential scam, but official partner activity cannot be entirely ruled out. Many recommend blocking and reporting the number.

I recently switched to EE and started getting missed calls from a number Google tagged as an "EE Partner." They never left any voicemails, so I decided to get in touch with EE directly. Turns out, EE called it a scam number and said they’ve blocked it now. It's kinda odd how they seem to know I’ve just upgraded within a day though.

Got a call out of the blue from someone claiming to be linked with EE. They convinced me to get a new SIM deal that seemed like a great bargain. But when I looked through the paperwork properly, it turned out I'd actually agreed to an additional data package I didn’t really want or need. Nowhere did they mention it was on top of my current plan. I called EE straight away and they sorted it out by cancelling it without any hassle.

This number rings up from StepChange, which works with EE. Sounds like loads of folks on here aren’t exactly good at looking stuff up online! EE passed on my details to them. Everything I asked for was actually updated on my EE account - I could see the changes on the EE mobile app. Honestly, before believing what people say on here, check EE’s own website yourself. Do a bit of digging first!

I ignored their call and later found an 11-second voicemail full of just background chatter and no real message. Glad I didn’t answer and decided to look it up first. It’s odd because I was actually on the phone with EE yesterday, and now this number connected to EE is calling me. To be cautious, I’ve gone ahead and blocked it.

This number has rung me twice but I didn’t pick up. I just switched back to BT and had to get a small hub from EE because BT didn’t send the right cable for my BT hub to work properly. All my chats about the service have been directly with BT, so if this call really came from EE then BT must be passing on my contact details. Seems like BT are really encouraging people to use EE lately. Maybe it’s a legit call from EE - my phone says there's a voicemail being recorded but no message ever shows up. Why bother saying you’ll leave a message if you never do?

I got a call this morning from a number that showed up as EE on my phone. The person on the line said they were from EE and asked for my name and some details to confirm my account. They then sent me a code via an official EE text, which I entered to verify things. They went through some offers linked to my account and when I said I wasn’t interested in adding any new contracts, they ended the call nicely. Overall seemed legit and quite professional.

Absolutely a scam! They were pretending to be from EE. I got caught in a similar trick a couple of days back with a different call. Luckily, I spotted it quick enough so no money went missing.

I rang this number to see if my EE payment had been processed. They asked me how much I’d paid, so I replied, “If you’re really from EE, surely you already know that?” They then said it was fine and they just wanted to confirm everything was in order. Even though it’s a proper company, the call felt a bit odd, like they were trying to find out how much I pay, maybe to pitch me extra services. Honestly, unless you’ve reached out to them first, it’s best not to share any info - they should have all your details anyway.

JUST A HEADS UP: Mobile networks DON’T randomly ring you out of the blue. They don’t make unexpected calls to their customers. If you need to get in touch with EE, check out their official website where their contact details are listed. Simply go to the top right corner of the EE site and click on Contact EE. From there you can choose to chat with them live or call them directly.

01438989231 called me claiming to be Paul Hall from EE, but obviously that was a made-up name. They sounded really legit, saying they noticed I’d visited the EE site and hadn’t finished signing up for a contract. I’d actually just joined EE, so maybe my info got leaked somehow. Unsurprisingly, the caller messed up eventually and gave themselves away. I looked the number up online and found this site, then rang EE myself who told me it’s not one of their numbers. The voicemail even pretends to be EE, which is pretty clever for a scam.

I received a call from someone claiming to be with EE, promising to knock a whopping 30% off my monthly plan. It sounded like a fabulous deal, but alas, I had to turn it down since I’m not even an EE customer! Clearly, it’s some sort of scam!
