Some phones issue a warning that short code text messages "might" be chargeable or cost the user money, but it doesn't mean they all do.

Official O2 page says its a FREE text http://www.o2.co.uk/shop/paygotopup/10backontopups

It's free, I've just had a network survey from O2 by text which came up with the same warning even though O2 stated in their original text that there was no charge.
