Is this a Scam? - Vodafone

Has anyone else had a text message from Vodafone with the following message?
"In 24 hours we will send you a free text with new settings for your mobile. Select Options, View & Save. If asked for pin use XXX To activate select YES"

I'm concerned that it may be some kind of scam and wondered if anyone else had received this?

    I've had one from Vodafone saying they will send new settings, but not to enter any codes.

    Ring Vodafone to double check, all i had to do was turn my phone off and back on after they were sent.
