Is this a scam text?
Hi - I'm moving home & my broadband is being activated on Friday. Today I've received 2 texts from a mobile number stating it is Openreach & asking if I currently have access to my property in order to check equipment & set up. Any ideas about whether this is normal procedure or is this a potential scam? Thanks!

I've had the same issue, two texts about the set up and I've tried replying yes but it won't send.
annoying and frustrating

@Nick291 Is the text giving you the right date they want to come and check the equipment?

The text states the correct activation date but doesn't seem to be suggesting making an appointment for Openreach to make an appointment- the text asks if I have access to the property as they need me to check the equipment.
