MMS picture messages

Picture — Sat, 10 Jul 2021 15:27:22 GMT

Does anybody know if the the MMS bolt on for 50 picture messages for £5.11 per month on 02 is the price befor or after VAT is added on to the monthly phone bill?

Will the charge to my phone bill be "just" £5.11 or will I then get charged an additional 20%VAT (UK) making the actual cost more like £6.14 a month.

???? Thanks in advance

@PictureStop wasting your money sending MMS. Download Whatsapp and get the people you're sending pictures to to do the same. The cost to send a picture, or call, or text, or video call is zero.

Edited to add zero if you send over WiFi.

@Picture

It is inclusive of VAT as each text is around 10.02p per message in the bundle.

So 02 say “It will cost you approximately £6.13 with Vat.”

Non sense. For consumer contracts the price quoted is what you pay.

VAT is only added to prices advertised for business contracts.

I know, but that's not what I said.

I said the advertised price is what you pay, so it already includes the vat element.
