cost of messaging short code

cinch — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 11:36:50 GMT

Hallo, I would like to send a message to LBC : 84850, I get notification saying:

"Messages would like to send a message to 84850. This will cause changes on your mobile account"

Then options Send or Cancel.

Same happens when I try to send a message to Amnesty International to support one of their causes: no 70505

How much do these numbers cost to message?

Thanks for your help

Charges are set by the service provider, not network, so you shoild check with the provider, ie LBC.

Thanks for your reply.

Strange, I called LBC and was told:

It depends on your service provider, contact them, ie O2

You were right, on LBC site it states:

Standard network charge normally no more then 12p unless stated otherwise.

For some reason the person on LBC that I contacted couldn't tell me this.
