Tango Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 So, I got a new phone a month or 2 back.....everything tickety boo......but then I noticed that I was getting charged extra for "services"outside my contract......now, I don't use anything like any of my allowances on my contract......so I investigated and found that I was being charged for sending pictures by text......wtf, I don't even send any pictures in texts.....so I dug a bit deeper and found that some of the texts I send my lads were going as MMS's..... So, after a bit more delving into some of the "hidden" settings I found a check box ticked that said "send texts to multiple recipients as MMS" .........WTF! why would you want to do that? Most of my normal texting is to individuals......but at weekends I text both the boys when arranging when to meet and where to go in the hope that one of them has his phone on...... and fell foul of this setting...... This is just plain sneaky..... Sorry for the rant.....but this kind of thing makes my boil bleed..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I would be having a look at the network to claim the dosh back after all they supplied it and it shouldnt be set up like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Use WhatsApp instead. Send text, pics, movies and voice memos. Uses your data allowance or free over WiFi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I use Viber for a lot of communication with my mob......but use text for the boys because one of them doesn't have mobile data connection......and it's a lottery as to which of them has the phone on/charged.....

cockercas Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Samsung by any chance? Also changes to mms if you write a really long text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
