Solved: I'm being charged by numbers I do not know

Matt_whatever · ‎23-06-2023

Hi,

In the last 2 months bills I have been charged for MMS by phone numbers I do not know;

Apr - May

07966 903828 £0.65

May-Jun

07703 253841 £0.65

07534 433775 £0.65

I have received spurious texts / WhatsApp messages. But, I never open or read them. Immediately just delete.

If it is these, how am I getting charged.

Please help.

Best regards, Matt

The numbers are all a business of some sort which you may have messaged thinking you were sending a text message, however, if the text is too long it will automatically convert to an MMS.
