One text 10xcharges???

[Foxy84]

I currently have a plan with unlimited messages and calls like 99% of the population. I have jist checked my bill, and there are currently charges on there for ten text messages (to an Australian number) amounting to over £9. I did send one message, but it’s added 10 of the same amount and time. Is this normal because it’s a foreign number, or should I query it. Thanks for any info

Thank you for your reply, very helpful. I’m now on WhatsApp with her so all good, that’s what I wanted to do in the first place, but she never saw the message so i had to text. I just did a test message, but obviously didn’t send it, to see if it came up with the character numbers like you mentioned, but it didn’t. So I’ll just hope that they do give me a refund and if not I’ll have to be £20 down.

Thanks for everyone’s replies

What phone do you have & what Messaging app is on it?

I’ve got iPhone 17. Not sure what you mean by messaging app other than text, WhatsApp and messenger

[XRaySpeX]

I mean the standard app for sending SMS texts & MMS, whatever it is on Apples.

It’s MMS or iMessage
