Faulty SIM card

Anonymous — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:31:27 GMT

I send short texts and do not include any photos,etc. but for some reason these texts are being charged at the MMS rate.

When I contacted O2 Chat Line I was told the charges are computerised so there could not be an error and I must have sent MMS texts. This ridiculous as some texts were only 30 characters!

I wonder if the SIM card could be faulty and is not recognising SMS texts? Is this possible?

How many people did you send the texts to?

Does it happen everytime or once in a while?

It is possible the sim card could be faulty.

Is 02 sending you a replacement to see if that helps.

Also removing your sim and giving it a wipe and general clean around the sim insert port can help.

are you using the subject line?

If yes that automatically sends as an mms

You can turn it off in settings

Yes I realise now that I should have turned off the MMS setting.

Working fine now.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.
