Community help guide here @Anonymous.If you look at the section re emoticons this will tell you all you need to know https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-and-Services/Accidental-MMS-Sending-and-How-to-Avoid-it/ba-p/1014132

Emoji's or emoticons are the biggest single source of converting a simple SMS to MMS. They eat up your allowed character count...

Does this mean (I'm a bit of a technophobe!) that if in settings I have switched off the automatic SMS option in my iPhone settings, that there shouldn't be a charge associated with sending a standard text as part of my allowance, which include emojis?

Turn off MMS in your settings and you are correct with your assumption. 

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.
