You can't send an sms on wifi with O2 so it will use your mobile network.

Also, data is not required for an sms.

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.
