Hi
I keep getting billed for what clearly isn’t a valid number!!! Yet o2 can’t see it and keep billing me !!!!
Who would have a number 000000000001234 yet keep saying I’m sending a text to them and it’s costing me 42p
If they continue to charge me I’ll take my custom elsewhere “after being with the at least 12-15 years

That number means you are sending mms instead of text messages. This usually happens with long texts or adding smilies that convert to mms.

At 42p you are sending mms messages or long texts which convert to mms messages

It's because you are entering a subject line in your text messages.
