Similar call received from similar woman. Claiming to be from O2 and telling me they want to deactivate my SIM card and post me another one. When I tried to verify the information she hung up.

They claimed to be from EE, and seemed to want to sign me up to a phone contract which was 'exactly the same' as the one I am on at the moment (but ... better, somehow). Lady on the phone had a thick Indian accent, was not very understandable and she hung up when I asked her to verify my name/address.
