EE turning group messages in to SMS
I sent a group message via my iphone to about 7 people and EE have charged me 7 x 33p basically charging me 7 picture messages. When I contacted customer services they said that over 5 messages sent as a group message get converted to a mms ( each one ) .. I was previously with three who didn't do this as far as I can recall ? Do the other networks operate this sharp practice ? EE also said that text messages over 160 characters in length get converted to MMS. I have now turned off the MMS facility off the iphone handset

The iPhone does it itself, group MMS allows replies to come into the same conversation rather than into a conversation for each contact.
Turn off Group Messaging in the Setting. |

As oneone says it is the default on Android and other phones, it is the phone that chooses the method of sending it, the network just adheres to requests made by the user equipment.
