@mike11947 You need to speak with customer support about this. My daughter had this once so I called up and got the charge dropped.

@mike11947 : Had you sent a long text, maybe 1200 chars, to a Spanish mobile? If so, it'll get split by the phone into 8 chunks & charged accordingly.

It looks like it - didn’t recognise the number but, yes, that fits. So it was me all along - I got a bit worried when EE started talking about “premium rate text services”. Thanks for your input and clarification. Mike
