Sending Emotions on text messages and £85 bill for it!

Anonymous
Not applicable

Can somebody please tell me if it is right that a 'smiley face' or other type of emotion you choose is classed as multi media, as I have just been slapped with an £85 bill this month! It should be £25. I have 500 free texts which is what I thought I was doing! Has anybody else encountered this?

This doesn't seem applicable to S5 - there is no 'keyboard' option under settings.

I've just been slapped with a £35 bill - & its been all over the media about being charged for emoticons with o2 being one of the worts offenders. Such a shame as they're nice to use .... I'm hoping to find a free version that i can install instead ....

You have posted on a 2 year old thread (principles still the same though) but there is a more up to date guide here http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-Services/Accidental-MMS-Sending-and-How-to-Avoid-it/td-p/689503
