My ISP, Virginmedia Business has texted me from 85006 and I would like to reply. My phone is warning me that it may cost. Can anyone tell me for definite if it will cost or if it won't? I have a Pay Monthly SIM with a 12GB/m contract.

I don't know for sure, @NickJH, but this may help:

I know some BBC numbers come up with that warning, but cost is about 12p. Others are definitely free, but the phone still issues the warning.

The one you have for VM says:

and refers you back to VM to confirm 🤷‍♂️
