Did you receive an email about unsupported routers in the past year, @Gerry121?
https://help-centre.talktalk.co.uk/Broadband/Security/Telecoms_Security_Act_Unsupported_devices
The text may be referring to that, but in case it's a scam, call 03451 720088 between 9am and 7pm weekdays or 6pm on Saturday.
Don't reply to the text.
There is an £80 charge if you want to update to a properly supported router unless you are about to renew your contract (in which case it should simply be replaced) or if there are faults diagnosed with the current one.
