About short code 150

150 is the standard customer-services number on several UK networks. Genuine service texts can come from it, but sender IDs can be spoofed — never tap payment links in unexpected texts.

How it's used: Call or text 150 from your EE or Vodafone handset.

Is a text from 150 safe?

Whoever the sender, judge a text by what it asks, not the number it shows. Genuine organisations never ask you to share passwords, PINs or one-time codes, "verify" card details through a text link, or move money to a "safe account". An unexpected text doing any of those is a scam regardless of the code it came from — sender IDs can be spoofed.

Don't tap links in unexpected texts — go to the organisation's website or app directly.
Don't reply to suspicious messages — even "STOP" confirms your number is live to a scammer.
Forward scam texts to 7726 (free, all UK networks) so your network can act on the sender.
