Hi @sinbad1234
Welcome to the EE Community
You can avoid chargeable messaged by setting your Spend Cap before going abroad, or using a different messaging service rather than SMS.
All details and other ways to manage can be found on out EE Support page at How do I set up and manage Spend Cap

There are add-ons that are available to significantly reduce the cost of sending text messages abroad, but equally if you'd rather not pay - don't send them! I vaguely recall these come in bundles of 60 & 120 texts and work out at a few pence per message.
Messaging apps will use the internet to send & receive.
