01618506427 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01618506427 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call and text number pretending to be from O2 or other UK mobile providers like Sky Mobile and EE. Callers claim users are eligible for contract upgrades or price reductions, often addressing people by name, which raises suspicion about how they get personal info. Many users say they never actually received the prior call the texts mention and stress not to respond, as it leads to more scam attempts. The number sends follow-up messages pushing for a “yes” reply to arrange a call, but the offers never match contract details or renewal dates. Several have blocked the number and warn others of the likely fraud, reflecting ongoing frustration with these deceptive tactics.

Just got another call pretending to be O2, followed straight away by a dodgy text trying the same stunt. Total scam alert!

I got a call from this number and right after they sent me a message about some supposed O2 upgrade I was due for. Totally a scam, watch out!

Just got a call from some scammer trying to pitch a “free” upgrade on my Sky Mobile plan. I only changed it about three months back, so no thanks! More dodgy nonsense, as usual.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Sky Mobile (02), telling me I could get a discount or upgrade on my plan. They asked me to reply with "yes" if I wanted to talk about the options.

Got a call earlier today and decided to check the number on this site before blocking it. Honestly, I’m fed up with all these annoying calls.

Had the exact same thing happen, honestly just ignore and block them straight away. No point in replying.

Got a call from "3 Network" saying I was eligible for a renewal or some discount on my mobile contract. They even knew my name and details! If you want to talk, they said to reply YES and give them a time to ring back. Sounded fishy to me - probably a scam trying to get info. Be careful if you get calls like this!

I’ve already replied telling them to stop ringing me after I looked up their number.

Received a message saying "Hi (my name) we attempted to reach you about your EE phone contract. You're now able to renew or get a discount. If interested, reply YES with a good time to chat and I'll ring back." Didn't get any actual call though. After checking the comments, looks like it's just spam.

This feels like a proper scam to me. What’s a bit odd is they probably have your first name already, which is quite creepy if you ask me.

Got a call today from someone claiming it was about my O2 contract needing renewal, but my contract doesn't expire for a few months. I asked for their identity and if they really were from O2, then they just ended the call. Later they sent a text message, but there was no option to respond to it.

Got a message earlier claiming it's O2 telling me I can get an upgrade or pay less. My upgrade's not up until December 2025 so it’s fishy for sure! I've gone ahead and blocked the sender.

Someone pretended to be from O2, saying they could lower my bill. Seemed fishy to me.

I recently received a text message that appeared to come from O2, claiming they had attempted to reach me by phone. Oddly enough, I never got any call. I had just gone into the shop to renew my contract, so it felt a bit dodgy. I decided against responding to the message, as it struck me as likely being a scam.

Got a call from 44161 8506427 and they actually used my first name, telling me I qualified for a discount on my contract. I told them I wasn’t interested and hung up straight away. Not long after, I get a text saying they tried to ring about lowering my monthly bill and to reply with 'yes' to arrange a better time for a call. Feels fishy to me, probably a scam.

I was quite anxious after placing my order for the phone, as I stumbled upon some concerning reviews that made it seem like a dodgy operation. However, I'm relieved to say that the phone arrived, and it’s still active on O2.

Got a call earlier from someone claiming to be with review.com saying they wanted feedback on life insurance plans. Felt a bit dodgy, probably just another spam or scam.

I acquired my last iPhone from O2, and I can attest that they're reliable and straightforward to work with.

I got a call and a text message on Tuesday, 28th May, claiming to be from O2, suggesting that I was eligible for a better deal or an upgrade on my plan. I chose not to respond, as I'd rather sort these things out face-to-face in a shop, and to top it off, the phone number in the text seemed rather dodgy. After doing some digging, it looks like that number has been flagged for scamming activities.

I got a call from this number saying I could get a price cut or upgrade on my plan. Since I’m on a rolling monthly contract, I didn’t think it sounded legit. Then I received a text message that just said “Hi” plus the initial of my first name, with something about trying to ring me. My actual provider wouldn’t just use an initial like that. The next day, another call came through from 01239 801823, saying the same thing. Definitely seemed fishy to me.

I reckon this phone number is linked to 01938 320227 as well.

Got a call from 0161 850 6427 saying I qualify for some kind of renewal or discount, which was odd since they used my real first name that I never give out. They rang me and then sent a message after, asking me to reply YES along with the best time to get hold of me? Seemed a bit dodgy to me.

I received a message stating they had attempted to phone me regarding the renewal of my mobile contract. What utter nonsense! I've only just tied myself down to a new deal not long ago. It's clearly just some spam trying to snag a few unsuspecting customers. I've gone ahead and blocked the number.

I just received a text from this number saying they’d tried ringing me, but I never got any calls from them. The message said I might be eligible for a new phone and supposedly came from O2. It used my real name, which I only use when dealing with O2, so how’d they know that? They told me to reply YES and they’d give me a call. Classic scam, really. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

This number called me twice and my phone flagged it as spam so I didn’t pick up. Afterwards, I got a text saying something like “Hi, I tried reaching you about your O2 Ltd mobile contract. You might be able to get a handset upgrade or a discount. If you want to chat, reply with yes and a good time to call”. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.

This number sent me a text claiming to be from o2, and they even knew my name, so maybe legit? Still, I ended up deleting the message since I've dealt with actual o2 before, and their calls always came from official o2 centres.
