just to add the actual wording from the latest tariff terms:
3. Text Message Charges
3.1 Subject to these Tariff Terms, inclusive messages on Pay Monthly tariffs can be used for texts (meaning individual SMS) sent in the UK to UK mobiles or tablets that are capable of receiving texts, from your SIM card for private and personal purposes. You may not be able to use your inclusive text allowance if you are using a device or tablet that cannot send or receive standard network text messages, so please check device specifications before buying. Text messages sent to multiple recipients may be classed as MMS or use a data allowance depending on device functionality.

No one will get back to you on here from O2 I'm afraid. Forget chat and call customer service. Maybe they will refund some of the charges but sending group texts to that many people is chargeable as mms.

If you use all the characters then another text will be created which will be classed as mms or if you use smilies then that will turn a text into an mms

The charge on your account is correct but you may get a goodwill gesture if it is the first time you've made this mistake.
Currently using:
OnePlus 6 (O2 & Sfr), Z3 Tablet (Three UK), iPhone 8+ (EE)
