As I guessed 🙂 ! That's why! Shortcodes are not in your text allowance. They may cost or they may not; depends on provider.
What is the shortcode?

@T000S : What are the 1st 6 digits of the number you texted?
Yes, you do get texts to UK 01, 02 & 03 landlines and UK 07 mobiles included in your allowances but anything else you will be warned you may be charged.
Are you on contract or PAYG?
