I have been charged 76p for a text/picture message roaming to this number 07*** ****** but I haven’t sent any SMS to anyone. I don’t even recognise this number. I merely just switched on my phone whilst abroad and received the EE standard messages about roaming charges. Please note that my mobile data has been switched off and I was connected via WiFi.
Anyone know why I have been charged and how to dispute it from abroad?
Thanks
[Mod Edit: Removed mobile number]

@HC786 : If mobile data is off you can't do MMS (Picture Msgs). Where were you?
Try calling CS on the Freephone no. in my sig. on Skype over WiFi. It should be free.
To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone
ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up > 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB > 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB > 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU > 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU > 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC > 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC > 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC > 2022:EE 80 Meg FTTC SoGEA > 2025 EE 150 Meg FTTP

EE need to block number
