Hi, I notice that I had extra charges to my bill, ie charges of up to £2.50 for texts. This is surprising as I had not sent texts on the days I was charged for. Also, I am definitely not sending any more texts than usual, so not sure why I have been charged. many thanks

Hi @Flo122
There are a number of reasons why you have may have higher-rate charges for text messages, the most common are for service text messages, such as Radio/TV competitions or charity donations.
