Lumia 800 when a sms turns into a mms

Anonymous
Not applicable

When does a text turn into mms, just had a bill for 15 media messages which i haven't sent so i rang CS who tell me they were all sent at exactly the same time. This was sent as a text without any media in it. The problem CS say is because facebook contacts are linked to phone contacts ! and to stop it happening again i must unlink the contacts. trouble is at least 3 on the list dont even have facebook accounts. Im told its not a billing issue but a facebook issue so its chargeable. i Dont mind paying for media messages but his is just wrong.

All modern smartphones convert group text messages to MMS messages. Keep the groups to less than 5 people and you should be OK but check the phone screen as it will normally change from SMS to MMS.

What number did you send it to?
Check in your "My O2" and it will tell you if charged.
