Hi
Using a Sony Xperia tipo with sim only contract with Orange.
Contract gives me 300 texts a month but have now bee advised that I sent 45 photo mms im July and have been charged for these. Explained that I have not sent 1 never mind 45 and then told that I must be somehow sending sms as mms!
Checked phone settings and there is only 1 way to send sms and all my messages are sms.
Has anyone else had this problem with Orange or other providers?
Thanks

On some phones, if you receive an MMS then any reply to it will be an MMS
On some phones, if you send long text messages (more than 160 characters) they can be converted to MMS.
So, if someone sent you a pic or a long text message that their phone had converted to MMS there is a chance you could of replied as MMS.
It must be these messages to multiple users then. Just out of interest does this also happen with iPhones?
Yes, it does.
