I too have realised that I am being charged for picture messages, explanation was if wi fi signal not strong enough will be charged. I've only just noticed this and my home wi fi is EE why is this happening, as on whatsapp supposed to be free. I am having a refund when Bill produced. Not happy

At events of 150k people across multiple days, there tends to be temporary sites installed which will substantially increase the radio capacity.

In any case, when any internet-based activity is attempting usage over a busy radio network, the outcome of any congestion is simply a slowdown in speeds until - eventually - activity fails. iOS may have a facility to attempt to send messages using an alternative medium, if the primary one isn't available. It's certainly not a network function, neither would the radio network cause one type of message to become another.

Do have any suggestions as to why I got charged as an MMS multiple times instead of a single iMessage?
