This could mean that your phone needs to be set up for picture messaging.
Why have I been charged for sending a text message?
There are times when you might be charged the cost of a picture message when you thought you were sending a free text within your allowance.
This may be because your text includes a non-standard smiley or symbol such as an emoticon or emoji.
Depending on what device you are using a text message with an emoji included may be converted into a picture message, which is chargeable.
Some devices may also convert a text message into a picture message if this is over 160 characters.
This isn't something that EE or any network controls, as it's down to how your device works, but it's straightforward for you to change this.
Full information can be found on our will I be charged for sending an Emoji/Emoticon post.
