Charged for group texts as picture messages

I have also just realised I have been charged for sending pictures to family. It’s disgraceful.

I'm unsure about Apple, but Android phones definitely give an onscreen notification when a text message is being converted to an MMS, which is chargeable.

Emoji are usually OK for SMS, but group messages will often get converted. Anything that's converted to MMS has an onscreen warning. This is a device function, not a network one.

@nisedavis : Picture msgs (MMS) are not included in your allowances & are therefore chargeable.
