I recently changed my broadband provider and got a call from Openreach technical support about sorting out the installation. I checked, and this number is actually listed on their official "help and support" webpage.

They kept insisting I was changing providers but I haven’t done anything like that. Pretty sure it’s a scam.

I checked the Openreach site and it turns out this is one of the numbers they use to call you.

This seems pretty genuine to me. The message said something like 'Openreach checking if your broadband is still on'. It even correctly guessed the day I changed over. They didn’t ask for any sensitive info, just wanted me to text back WORKING or NOT WORKING. I sent WORKING and got a message back saying “Glad to hear it, enjoy your new service.” All in all, I’m happy with it.

I came across the number 07491163160 on the OpenReach site https://www.openreach.com/broadband-for-homes. If you go to the ‘Looking for help and support?’ section and click on ‘Find out how we can help,’ then scroll a bit until you see ‘What Openreach can help with,’ you’ll find a bit about ‘Openreach engineers.’ When you select ‘What should I expect when I have an Openreach engineer coming?’ under the fourth bullet point, it lists appointment update numbers as 07860041025 or 07491163160.

So I checked out the comments and clicked on the link they sent. They asked some stuff about my BT line and I said yes, then asked if I had access to the property and again I said yes. Next thing it said was thanks, we’ll confirm the engineer coming Monday the 24th. Not sure if this is legit or some kind of scam. The message did include part of my postcode and the name of the broadband company I’m switching to.

I got this message from Openreach when I switched my internet provider. It's genuine and completely safe. If you reply YES, they’ll give you instructions to check your Openreach modem (ONT) is set up and working ok for your new broadband.

Sounds like Openreach giving you a quick call to make sure your fibre box’s all set before switching on your new internet. I recently went with Sky and they rang me to double-check everything was working before they flipped the switch. Shouldn't be any worries!

I’m switching my broadband at the moment and got a couple texts from this number saying they were from Openreach wanting to get into my house. They even had the last part of my postcode and the date my service was supposed to start, which freaked me out a bit. But when I checked with the broadband company I’m moving to, they said Openreach wouldn’t be sending messages like that. Definitely a scam, stay careful!

Got a message from this number two times and felt a bit unsure about it, so I looked it up here. After seeing what others said, I'm definitely going to block it.

I checked and this number actually shows up on the Openreach site under their "Got an Openreach engineer coming?" section. It's in the part about "We're activating your Full Fibre service" and also "Appointment updates." That said, these days scammers can fake even official numbers, so I'd still be careful and not just trust it outright.

Got a call from someone claiming to be an Open Reach Full Fibre Engineer, and I was a bit doubtful initially. However, after checking on their official site, I found the number is legit. It’s 07491 163160.

I was switching my internet supplier when I got a text, supposedly from Openreach, but it came from a mobile number. It asked if they could get into my property and check the gear, telling me to just reply YES or NO. It felt a bit dodgy so I rang my new provider. They then contacted Openreach who said it wasn’t their message at all and it was a scam. Glad I checked before replying!

Got a text from this number saying it was Openreach, but when I dialled it back, the line was dead and said the number isn’t in service. Definitely not from Openreach.

I rang BT to cancel my service and they told me it was all sorted without needing to come to the house. Yet now, this number keeps texting me, using the date we agreed and part of my postcode, trying to set up some new service. They’re asking if I can give access to the property and sending a link that’s spelled open-reach, not openreach. I haven’t ordered anything and have just blocked the number.

That number is from Openreach trying to confirm if you've got a working fibre (FTTP) service. When you call, there's a box to answer the first question, then it sends you to a guide to see if your setup meets the standards. If you're wary about pressing on links, you can just pop the info into your search bar instead, it’s pretty simple and the address isn't very long.

Received a message asking if we could confirm whether access to the property is ok for broadband installation. I rang the new provider to check, and they told me that number looks like a scam.

This isn’t a scam, its a text line EE uses to send confirmations about switching providers and to get your okay on the new plan.
