Having just come back from Turkey, I've noticed this number 07802000332 appears on my bill, I have not used any data whilst abroad but used the WiFi at a hotel I was staying in, I have sent numerous text messages at 50p a text so I'm fine with that, trouble is this number has appeared on my bill 215 times and I've been charged for it...any help would be appreciated. Regards.

It's the international gateway number that all texts from abroad are sent through.

What phone do you have, as iMessage and RCS will send texts to register the device with the messaging services..

@Wiggy51 If your texts were longer than 160 characters or included emojis, that would increase the number count of texts: Tips to avoid unexpected charges on your bill - O2 Community

I’ve had a similar issue with this number. Can it be deleted on my phone as I don’t send texts while I’m abroad.
