Sharing contacts

Brobs — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 18:12:35 GMT

I shared 30 contacts from my mobile to my work phone & have been charged 67p for each one. I am furious & don’t know why, any ideas

@Brobs : Each contact is sent as an MMS containing the contact as a .VCF file at a cost of 67p each. Your plan does not include MMS. You should have chosen to share it as text.

Hi @Brobs

There is some guidance on this scenario on this EE help page

It remains the case, that conversion of whatever you're sending, into an MMS, is a device function and your phone should warn you of "converting to multimedia" or something similar - before you send the message.

Hi @Brobs

Should have shared them via Bluetooth.

Thanks
