I just received a text saying I had been charged 46p for sending a message on kik. Why is this? The message was 3 words long no emoticons.

@Shaun72 you'd have to ask KiK why the message was chargeable.
O2 would only charge you if it was sent over the network as an MMS message.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

My understanding is that Kik uses data much like WhatsApp and other messaging apps do and this shouldn’t attract charges if you are within your data allowance
