Picture messages

I send picture messages all the time which are included in my monthly allowance. This month I have been charged for three picture messages at 83p each I don’t understand what is different about these three messages. Please can someone explain? I am generally on Wi-Fi. How do you know if you’re sending an MMS message rather than a free message included with data?

How do you know that MMS (Picture Msgs) are included in your monthly allowances? They aren't usually unless you buy an add-on for them. EE plan allowances include only call mins, SMS texts & data.

Photo messages Add-ons (monthly recurring):

  • 100 photo messages to UK mobiles: text 100MMS to 150
  • 200 photo messages to UK mobiles: text 200MMS to 150

Your Messaging app should warn you when it's changing an SMS to MMS.
