    That is bizarre, especially because it says eircom and not eir, after wasting €16m to drop 3 letters from their name you'd think they'd use the new name.

    Are you sure that is eircom and not some scammer chancing their arm?

    The free phone number is eir.
    Suggest you ask the reps what's going on.

    That's what I though initially (as received a lot of phishing emails lately) but the phone numbers seem ok as far as I can say...

    I was looking for similar issues before i posted mine here.
    Found and exact one so it was much quicker for me to do copy-paste action insted of typing it all (on mobile) 

    Is this that hard??? 

    Screenshot is mine!

    My father received one of those texts yesterday!  No contact number just " We've noticed that your eircom account usage is quite high. To avoid interruption of your eircom services, please contact us to make an advance payment"

    Hi Misguided1,

    I would recommend advising your father to contact the customer care team on 1901.

    If you would like me to look into this, can you please PM me your account number and full name?

    If you have any services with eir you may receive this text message in regards to your bill not only for broadband usage.

    If you have an eir account number can you please PM me your account number and full name and I would be more than happy to look into this further?

    Thanks,
    Anna
